See a post I got full of blunders.

Sunday, April 24, 2016
 I got this post from a friend: "As you make your bed, so you lay on it. Make your bedroom beautiful all the time. Order for 100% cotton for bedsheets ,duvets,duvet covers..."
 What do you see wrong with that? Of course, I can see two blunders here: 1. "lie" is the correct word, not "lay".i.e. "As you make your bed, so you LIE on it." 2. You don't "order for", you simply "order". i.e. Order 100% cotton for bedsheets ,duvets,duvet covers...." (It's incorrect to add "for" to the verb "order".) Is this now clear enough?
