I am Gray, not Grey.
Oh, and Polycarp? It’s actually Mithlond, so the Grey/Gray don’t enter into it! 
I’m an American, but it’s even money whether I’ll spell it ‘gray’ or ‘grey’. I’ll even spell it both ways in the same sentence or paragraph, just to mix it up a bit. Nobody can tell me I’m wrong, after all, and a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of ignorant copyeditors.
Enuf of this! Everyone blames Hearst, tho very few of his reforms caught on.
(Were those among Hearst’s reforms? I think so, but now I’m all confused. The grey newsprint all fades to a gray cloud in my bad memory.)
A is for American, E is for English. Doesn’t get much simpler than that.
Did a report on gray wolves in the sixth grade and called them grey wolves in my paper because one of the sources I had was british or candian. My teacher took off a half point for every time I wrote grey. I argued that how could 60 million Brits be wrong on the spelling of a word that the made up. If I saw that bitch today I’d probably spit on her. GREY GREY GREY!!
A Gray (Gy) is the SI unit for absorbed ionizing radiation. 1 Gray = 1 J/kg. Not really relevant, but there you go.
So if you speak American English, it’s graey.
And if you don’t speak at all, it’s gry. (…which is a sound that doesn’t echo, and no one knows why!)
:smack:
But, but, when I was in the Army I was in 3rd Brigade (Grey Wolf) 1st Cavalry Division and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t in the British Army.
The US Army Institute of Heraldry must be closet anglophiles.
