RE: lie/lay: My advice is that if you don't know the difference, reword the sentence to use a different construction or a different word.
The other day, I read a fanfic that started with:
"He lied on the couch..." LOL
Some writers now use italics for speech - yes, darlings it may be trendy and cool, but I can't bloody READ it and isn't that the point?
I would say the same thing about people who post on LJ without any capital letters or punctuation. *g* If nobody can read it, what's the point of posting at all?

I'd probably screw up bring/take, though. lol
