- jrockway 14y ago"get laid" is not correct English.
- paulrademacher 14y agoOf course it is. My rhymes and my records they don't get played / because my records and rhymes, they don't get made / 'cause when you rap like me you don't get paid / and when you roll like me you don't get laid.

- gte910h 14y agoLanguages are descriptive, not proscriptive. "Get Laid" is an idiom from the 50s. 60 years later we can safely call it part of the language. At this point you're doing the equivalent of bitching that email isn't capitalized anymore. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=get+laid http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=get+laid
- jrockway 14y agoIt's correct as a synonym for fucking, but it's not a correct way of saying you etched traces on a circuit board, which is what this article is trying to do.
- gte910h 14y agoIt's a correct synonym for fucking readily identifiable as a pun and double entendre for laying out a circuit board. I request you swap to trying to make another language dowdy and unfun. I (and most English speakers the world over) love its capacity for wordplay.
- akiselev 14y agoCorrect English or not, you "layed out" a board, not "laid" it.
