tile guys... question

[snoozer]

Buddy was doing tile work over the weekend and was explaining what he did...

He said "As I was laying the tile..." and a guy stopped him and said "you don't lay tile, you place tile'

So, is there a difference between 'laying tile' and 'placing tile'? If so, what is it and is it such a touching thing that it is worth correcting someone? :shrug:

Glad to hear Buddy is doing ok! Haven't seen him on here in a while. :00hour

You place the first one and then lay tile alternatively around the placed tile, no? :shrug:

I don't get it... :mj07:

You lay concrete, you lay carpet. Placing tile is the correct terminology here. However----99% of everyone says "lay tile". It's just commonly accepted everywhere. It's just like most persons call stucco, plaster, when it isn't.

you lay a woman.

you place tile.

you lay a woman.

Now that makes sense, and then you place the 2 crisp twenties on the night stand. :shrug:
