{{DTN|time=01:56, August 29, 2010 (UTC)|text=...wooooooooooooooooooow. Guys, this is a color. Heck, even a Grammar Nazi like me is finding this debate to be blown way out of proportion. Both LegoAlchemist and LapisScarab are right; both "grey" and "gray" are acceptable spellings of the color. While you could say that "grey" and "gray" are limited only to their specific variants of the English language, I am sure that have overlapped in publications and free writing before. As long as the article harboring the text that contains the word "grey" or "gray" stays consistent with its spelling of the term, I see no problem with allowing them to be interchangeable. | |||

In conclusion, this a very simple and diminutive issue that certainly does not require all of this fuss. So, let's stop arguing about gray/grey, or the Gray/Grey Monster is going to come and explode the wiki. Thank you.}} | |||
