somehow I picked up British spellings for words around the same time I drowned my natural accent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (I think it's actually that I grew up on the Internet with a lot of international and UK friends and was a rebellious teenager during the Bush administration)
It's fine, it's not like it makes you a bad person or unable to use spices but I repeat myself. I only ever use the re in theatre but I do think licence is more correct. I can't remember which gray/grey is which. And I lived in the UK for 4 years.
both grey and gray are correct but in my head i have to use the RIGHT one for the right word like skies are gray but cats are grey
What about tea or pubic hair?
Earl Grey tea, that's a *name*, you have to get that right human hair regardless of its place on the body is grey, i think because humans are more like cats than like the sky, but humans are also like the sky in important ways so they can have gray hair, it's just spookier
