What is the difference between laid and layed?
Laid is the past tense and past participle of laid. Layed is an alternative spelling of past tense and past participle of laid, which is no longer in use.

What is Layed?
Interestingly enough the term layed does not exist in the American English and comes only when we talk about the British English. It means the same just as laid and gets defined as putting something down with care. Another way of defining the term goes as the placing of objects in a particular order to make things happen. Layed gets used in the past and past participle of the term lay, and the alternative of laid therefore creates confusions among people on how to use it properly. The origin of the word also stays the same and comes from the old English; the only difference stays that no modification exists here as compared to the other word with the same meaning. A better way to understand the relation is to use it in some sentences. “This was of wood; the third sight, also of wood, was for guns without a dispart patch, which consequently could not be layed at elevations below the dispart. Another sentence for the same word goes as; “This enabled the gun to be layed from some little distance behind so that the layer could be clear of recoil, and continuous laying was thus possible.” The traditional spelling of the word stays the same and therefore become used in the manner as before, but the term layed only remains as the variation of the word and does not mean anything different. It just changes places where they become spoken and the location of the person dialect.

I am with onlooker on this one.

BF appear to have used the variant spelling since their inception - either as a deliberate act (of differentiation?) or through an error which has never been corrected.

Well I'm with the Old English rather than the American English.
