Hey friend, take a breath. Idk what’s going on in your world but you sound pretty stressed.

  As someone who shares bloak's sentiment, there's two different verbs, lay and lie, and pointing out the difference is a hill worth dying on. (I doubt bloak is actually upset. It's mock outrage.) Edit: I was actually confused by the title of the submission which is illustrative of the distinction between the two words. To me, a lay down desk is a desk that can be laid flat, and that's what I thought this was going to be. Some kind of desk that could be easily collapsed to make space. Whereas, a lie down desk is a desk you lie down to use.

    Re edit, that's not new ground though: aren't all desks 'standing'?!

      True, there aren't transitive and intransitive versions of stand, but since desks stand by default, you can make assumptions about what a standing desk is. I really was not expecting a lay down desk to be something you lie down to use.

        I agree with you; I read it the same way, I was just saying that 'standing desk' already annoyed me.
