Kim,
My grandfather was a language professor at differnt universities - taught English, French and Spanish and prided himself on perfect diction, he was insulted if he visited France or Spain and they could detect an American accent. He was a true lover of language and proper grammar.
One thing that I could never "get" was when to use lay and lie. He lay down, or lied down? The snake will lay or lie cool? Can you help (I'm serious - it still drives me nuts trying to remember what Poe (my grandfather) told me! LOL)

Y'know, Robin--I wasn't 100% sure on this question. It's one of those tricky English language things! I Googled it, and found a pdf file with a really good explanantion on the difference between the two.
I attempted to summarize, and did a really bad job of it. So, I'll just link you!
