Yes, I noticed that :) It's an excellent page, by the way, I'll keep and memorize it ;)

hmmm... Why "lays"? Wasn't "lay" in the original sentence the past tense of "lie"?

I believe it shouldn't have been corrected. Indeed, "lay".

No you messed it, initially...

@sacredceltic, by "i corrected it" i meant "i reverted it to the original version"

@Guybrush88, don't forget that when you change a sentence (even to its original version), some translations might be lost. Note that nonong translated this when it said "lays", and now you changed it without caring about his translation.

So yeah, it's kind of messy.

@alexmarcelo, i unlinked it from this sentence and i added the version with "lays"
