LAY versus LIE. In the Media Octopus house, we have lots of fun making sure we're always using the right one. The simplest rule we use:... If you can replace the world with "put" or "place," use lay. If you can't, use lie. RIGHT: I'm going to lie down. WRONG: Just lie it on the table. RIGHT: Let me lay it out for you. WRONG: I'm just going to lay here and do nothing. See? Easy. Up next: WHICH versus THAT.

"Publically" is not a word. Can you imagine spending thousands to create a website only to have glaring spelling and grammatical errors published? It happens more often than you might think. This example has been active online for months, proudly proclaiming their TSX moniker under this invented word. This is the kind of thing an editor can help you avoid.
