am i the only one that pronounces grey slightly more refined than gray?
like i put a little british accent in there when I say "grey"
so i prefer to spell AND say "grey"

I do Grey as a color and Gray as a name...but now that I've looked at those words and I thought about it for too long they look and sound really weird to me so I just don't know anymore. 11/11/2011 11:36:31 AM

I was going to post a picture of Sasha Gray here.
I typed it into GIS, then hit enter, then thought FUCK I'M STILL AT WORK, and immediately closed the window. True story. 11/11/2011 4:32:49 PM

Unless you're British, you have absolutely no fucking reason to use grey. I'm an editor and that shit annoys the hell out of me--and I know plenty of other editors and writers that will go out of their way to correct it, especially if someone is intentionally using "grey". I know it's a little zealous, but whatever. 11/12/2011 1:58:04 PM

I didn't even know "gray" was an appropriate spelling of the color... damn you public education!!! 11/12/2011 2:11:11 PM

Yes, for some reason people don't understand that it's simply an American - British difference, but in academia you really shouldn't use grey. You'll honestly be straight-up ignored for it. 11/12/2011 2:13:51 PM

Right, so academics will ignore you, the whole person, if you spell THE NAME OF A COLOR using an alternative (original?) spelling?
Seems like people shouldn't be dealing with such 'academics' anyway. 11/12/2011 4:53:44 PM
