     Usage: Put, Lay, Place, Set. These words agree in the
            idea of fixing the position of some object, and are
            often used interchangeably. To put is the least
            definite, denoting merely to move to a place. To place
            has more particular reference to the precise location,
            as to put with care in a certain or proper place. To
            set or to lay may be used when there is special
            reference to the position of the object.
