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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
