*laughs* Laying down on the bed! Yay! What's embarassing is that it took me a while to catch that...
I've noticed that problem more in spoken than in written English. Sorry to hear you're finding it in written, too! And then there's one that's only appearing in written English, and shockingly often in the few fanfics I've seen: He sat in the chair, pouring over the newspaper... I always wonder what precisely he's pouring. I'm thinking maybe maple syrup. Or maybe it's flour and water, and he's making papier mache... Another one that's REALLY getting to me: Me and my friends went shopping... I CAN'T STAND that one, and I can't seem to persuade anyone except for one beloved teenage cousin to CARE about it! I is a Subject. The Object is Me. *growls*
