Poll - Do you find it annoying when people use the word "lay" instead of "lie"?

For example:

"Lay down" vs. "Lie down"

"Laying down" vs. "Lying down"

I'm not, seeing as I usually use the word "lay" myself. My sister makes a point of correcting me every time I tell her that I'm going to go "lay down". To me, it's just a dialect thing.

Are you like my sister?
