And ballaerina - for your information: "laying" is the act of having sexual intercourse, and "lying" is speaking an untruth. That should clear it up once and for all, I think. so what do all you think guys? should i sned in a smaple of my riting to be a member of dam intresting?"

yes

Besides collective jibs sounds a little dirty too. Like you have a big pile of jibs laying around your house somewhere. Or is it lying? English is stupid."

It's lying. Laying is the act of putting something down. It's transitive, meaning it has to take a direct object. "I lay down the book." "She is laying down the book." "He had laid the book on the table." Lying is the state of being down. It's intransitive, meaning it has no direct object. "The book was lying on the table." "I am going to lie down." "I have lain in bed for 2 hours." Here's where it gets confusing though: the past tense of lie is lay. "The book lay on the table for three weeks." Does that clear it up? PS. "Definately" is spelled "definitely."
