If you're wanting to claim that ``lie'' is the right word,
I disagree.

So you're illiterate; what else is new? The word that you
actually wanted is probably 'grow'.

The distinguishing point of ``lay'' is the sprawl ;

Then use the verb 'sprawl'. The relevant distinguishing
point of 'lay' is its transitivity.

some process from science class is not wanted, thanks
anyway.

If you need a science class in order to use 'grow', you're
in even worse shape than I thought.
