@chaosprime who has been using it to mean "common error"? Because ... No. It's, like, the opposite of that.
@XaiaX yeah, that's annoying, that's what leads me to my strict rules on the use of "grey" vs. "gray" that nobody else can be arsed with
-
-
@chaosprime which are what? My rule is "I spell it grey, unless it's someone's name." -
@XaiaX i reserve grey for explicitly poetic usage and use gray whenever we're talking about a physical color without trying to Set a Mood -
@XaiaX so the Grey Havens are fine, a grey morning is all right if one simply must, but it's a gray dog -
@chaosprime@XaiaX TIL there's a difference. I just assumed one was American the other European. Also I couldn't say which was which -
@mediapathic@chaosprime there's a weird mnemonic for this. Grey in England. Gray in America. I've got a lot of Englishisms from mom. -
@XaiaX@mediapathic probably the England thing is why i associate indiscriminate use of "grey" with class pretension -
@XaiaX@mediapathic faux Britishism being how Americans perform class pretension -
@XaiaX@mediapathic which in turn is why i can't get over it every single time a British person says "idear"
