Dan Piponi on Nostr: I think every grammar book says "lie low" is the correct present tense and "lay low" ...
I think every grammar book says "lie low" is the correct present tense and "lay low" is past tense. In the last decade I can't recall anyone apart from me using "lie low" for present tense. So it's probably time to update the grammar books (and me).
