Dear Dragon*Con,

“Lie” is an intransitive verb that does not need an object. “Lay” is a transitive verb requiring an object.

These signs have been wrong every year since I started attending.

Here’s our blog post in 2009.

Attached is a picture taken yesterday.

Please, please, PLEASE fix this before next year. Dragon*Con is about welcoming and celebrating all kinds of geekery — please don’t make the grammar geeks among us feel left out!

Sincerely,

The RPB
