Lay vs. Lie
Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. I still look at this one more often than not.
Lay vs. Lie
Clinch vs. Clench
Today we have one of those pairs that are often confused. It makes my teeth clench every time I see them used improperly.
Clinch is to fix or secure (as a nail or bolt) by bending down or flattening the end that protrudes. This definition gave rise to the now more common use of clinch—to settle definitely and conclusively. It’s now a very common sports term when a team or person secures a title or victory.
Clench means to close tightly, or to grasp or grip tightly. It’s also a noun referring to a tight grip or grasp.
This is also a great article comparing the two: http://depressioncookies.blogspot.com/2015/01/clench-vs-clinch-grammar-writing-tips.html
