Lay or Lie down?

When I think of words I am unable to understand I resort quickly to those words which to our Ears "sound" the same but have different spellings- your know the homophones. To lay or lie- thought seemingly straightforward (and sound somewhat different)- can be ambiguous even to the most educated- which at Just A Guz- seems to have some difficulty with! But what about read-read, or red-read, or rose- rose, or crackpot-cracked pot? To this I say- good luck learning the English Language! Due to its many rules, regulations, and origins may be seen as a over zealous mutt of languages. So try but you may never win. (try to spell that word which means excessive amount or supply- that is a sure-fit!)

To this I give a toast- "May your words be numerous in quantity and little in quality- for to say to many "expensive" word is to give up your savings!" And who likes a friend who spends all their money in one place!  

Remember: When you get that urge to play shuffle board, it doesn't mean you need to go on a cruise you may just need sometime alone with set of chopsticks- and hey they are much less expensive and way more fun!
