I have not read the book and this post is based solely on the title. Perhaps the book is about grave robbers. I apologize to the author, editor and publisher for my lack of further inquiry. Thank you for bringing this to my attention Faldone.Laura Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229426716936563690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679131690828224322.post-51275694465412062012010-12-08T12:24:58.247-05:002010-12-08T12:24:58.247-05:00You don't suppose it could be past tense.

BTW, in informal studies (i.e., listening to people talk) I have determined that present tense <i>lay</i> is taking over the function of irregular <i>lie</i> in well over half the population. I suspect conflict with regular <i>lie</i> as a contributory factor.Faldonenoreply@blogger.com
