@chaosprime I can kinda see how you would think it means an error given the biblical usage to find foreigners and kill them, but, no.
@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"
