    Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
    often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay
    and lie. Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its
    preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
    laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
    preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
    down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the
    preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid
    down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid
    at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was
    laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to
    remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
    of lay, and not of lie.
