Come on, T-Netters. This a college sports forum. The verbs lay and lie are totally different with totally different meanings. While we're at it, the espressions "couldn't care less" and "could care less" are diametrical opposites. OK, go ahead and slam me. I can take it.

On the other hand "Laid" is something we can all understand. Also, you forgot farther vs. further.

Judging his OP I don’t think his meaning of laid is the same as the one you’re referring to

It ain’t the age, it is the acreage. Takes me two hours on a 54” cutting deck riding mower. I guess I could push it out, but would need to pack a lunch. 😉

My buddy has an older 72" Dixie Chopper Zero with a 40hp Kawasaki. That thing will flat out do some mowing. I think it will run like 30mph without blades engaged and 13mph while engaged. Paid like $15k fifteen years ago and still runs like a champ. He has a lot of acres he mows so he needed something where the tractor mower wasnt feasible.

60 and push. It does have a self propelled feature that I use when going uphill. Only about 3/4 acre lot so no big deal. We used to have a 3 acre lot, all grass that had to be mowed. Definitely had a rider then.

I’ll be 66 in a few weeks. Still use a push mower, still get on my roof to clear straw off and still get my own straw up. This time of year, have to rake before I mow every other week. Why can’t straw fall in January instead of July-September?? Hot as blazes in midlands of Palmetto state.

This is a college football forum--ONLY a forum. We're not writing essays to be graded by a professor. It's not like 99% of us don't know correct grammar. Life's too short--lighten up and have a little fun.
