For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Hi John (and anyone else following this silly thread),
Actually, I wasn't thinking of the get-passive constuction of lay.
Perhaps I am thinking of an instance of mis-use of the verb.
She ___ with her husband to be. You can't use lie - it doesn't sound
right and it isn't past tense (could be, but I don't think it HAS to
be). (All this pussy-footin' around can be confusing.)
At any rate - techwriters don't get to use it!!!
(This is all Jason's fault....)
Please continue thread off-list, if interested.
