As the originator of this thread, I plead guilty to purposely "misspelling"
the yiddish "word" "lay" as "lie" (and "day" as "die") precisely for this
reason -- so those unfamiliar with YIVO transliteration would not be
confused by "lay," and think I mean it pronounced by Bob Dylan in his song
"Lay Lady Lay."
