‘Layed’ is a more complicated story. It is no longer a proper word. It is considered archaic. That is, it might still be used when someone is trying to create an old time feel, but nobody uses it outside of that.

Gotta say the more I look into this the more 'laid' seems right afterall. The use of 'laid' vs 'layed' seems to be more to do with pronunciation, as in the ye olde way of saying "lay-ed" (2 syllables) rather that "laid" (1 syllable). I found a 'layd' too but I won't go there, spelling wasn't very standardised way back when. "did lay" might be easier, but a bit country bumkin
FFS, I've made 15 pence today, spent 15 minutes doing my accounts, I'll soon be on my 15th can of beer, and now I'm reduced to discussing layed or laid.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 2:26 amGotta say the more I look into this the more 'laid' seems right afterall.
