      Here's another useful tidbit from wiki's Gray entry:

      Greys are seen commonly in nature and fashion.
      Now I know, but what is that crazy color I keep seeing in all that architecture?!

        I'm kind of disappointed that there's no analysis of the greyness of Grey's Anatomy.

          I think it's the same as gray and grey. I prefer the latter because of the air of snobbish elitism (think Earl Grey and such).

          SHW has just piped in with her two cents. Grey, to her, has a green tinge. Gray is just pure gray with no color taint. I think she's been eating too much soylent green, to tell you the truth.

            Its soylent grey now.

            I think Grey is a name, and gray is a color.

                  isn't "grey" more of a UK vibe to the American "gray," a la "cheque" instead of "check" or "theatre" instead of "theater" or "willy" instead of "penis?"

                    I have always thought the colour is grey over there and the color gray here.

                      That's what I always thought too, and wikipedia backs us up. It makes sense that I would use grey instead of gray, actually, given the Canadian/Boston influences on my English (was it Babs who said I have a slight Boston accent?).

                          And so my preference is due to the...er...okie influence?

                          And that totally does NOT sound like something babs would say, btw. Not a sober babs, anyway. Babs has never even been to Boston.

                                Now that's just intentional and gratuitous. Please refrain from hanging curve balls for me. I have been spending a lot of time at the batting cages lately and am liable to knock one out with more gusto than you would like.
