I put parts away at work, that are marked grey on the box...but the shelves
are labeled gray. I usualy don't put them away, because I'm not sure what to do. (insert brotherdoobie is lazy here, if you like?)

It seems both are middle english words...hmmm I thought one was a french
variant. If this was the case... I would of recommended not using the french spelling.

I heard they (the french) don't like Mcdonalds or Disneyland...lame.

Peace bd

Let us carry on the fight. :ph34r: Considering the population of the USA is at least four times the population of the country that invented the language the above figures mean zilch. :)

The new one is:

Is the correct spelling winna or winner? :lol: :lol:

I would just like to point out that gray or Gray is not in The Oxford Popular English Dictionary. :)

Were you the one who found the inventor of the modern shovel quilty of treason for making a tool out of metal instead of the wooden ones that were all you allowed us to have? :)

It may be spelled differently in American English, however that is a different language (please note the letter "u" in the previous word)

That is all.
Who said this was about your English language and not that "different" language?

In fact if you look at the thread starter, you'll notice that he is from Indiana and he typed it as "color" which would make it right for his location.

Gray color. :P
