OT - Stick, Lay or Settle?
Quoting from message
posted on 24 Feb 2005 by John Hall I would like to add: In article , Anne Burgess writes: Are the differences regional? I'm from the home counties (Dunstable) and have always used 'settle' - is there anyone else from Beds who uses settle? In this neck of the woods we say 'lie' not 'lay'. You must come from a grammatical neck of the woods, then.  Same at "home" (E.Yorks) and here in N.Wales - but also "stick" and "settle" with occasional "hold". -- ....ElaineJ...
