I am having the same question about grey/gray. I tend to prefer grey to gray, but really I just want to know which one is more pretentious and then I will use that.

"Grey" is a British spelling, and "gray" is the formal American spelling (as far as I know). I think if you're being poetic, use "grey," but with professional correspondence, use "gray." That's just my 2.5 cents.

Btw, thanks a lot for getting me sloshed. J/k. Aww...Mrs. Enderle...

i enjoyed the wine at your wedding mrs. p. enderle. and its funny you blog about this because that night i was thinking about the tables with underage drinkers. i looked over on several occasions to see if any had poured some.. and they were pretty good. i think wine for underaged ppl are ok.. Getting permission is a very good idea. You know, in asia they wouldn't be underaged.. so i guess its all on if ur in the presence of the LAW like you said. =) and i think i drove the sloshed one home. hahaha.
p.s. "grey" has a nice extra "umph" to it.

I vote for "grey"

Grey seems more grey because the -ay ending is so common.
When things are common, they appear primary, like the colors blue, red, yellow, black and white. Common things are fundamental and non-esoteric. But -ey is rare in English...more mysterious and... grey.
