I saw this word a while ago on a car tag and have wondered ever since. Does anyone know? It isn't in the dictionary or thesaurus so I'm turning to Yahoo! Answers for answers. Ironic ain't it?

You know, there are plenty of example, colour/color, aeroplane/airplane, etc etc...
What is the reason for this, and what do you think about changing the spelling of certain words of a language?

everyone says " i will check your profile and let you know what i think " is correct but i think " what i thought" is ok too

because,,,if you put yourself in the future ,"what you think" will be the past,,,,you think something and then let the person know what you THOUGHT???

its confusing?

Some people say common sense is using proper judgment through your GUT instinct & street sense needs to be taught. Others say they're 1 in the same.

I'm writing a story. Please tell me if this is correct:

"He stepped back from where Sheikh lay..."

Should "lay" be laid? Or lie? Or lied? (Usually good with grammar but confused in this one area.) Thanks.

Is she hiding in the kite?

I know that the sentence doesn't make sense and that it's not grammatically correct; however, does that mean that it's also not syntactically correct? As far as determiners, subjects, nouns, prepositions, and verbs go, they're all in the correct order. I guess what I'm trying to get at is whether meaning is part of syntax?

Also, please consider the following sentence:

Is she hiding in the bed?

Is this poor syntax also? Shouldn't it be "Is she hiding on the bed?"

I was of the impression that the original meaning of lol was laughing out loud. Now it seems to be applied for everything.
