theres a million different scenarios. im not sure why it's hard to comprehend what your poll is attempting to do. it's a pretty simple yes or no question. not really gray area.

 

Except that nearly every response involved questions of a grey area. It's only not grey to someone who 100% would never want him off the team or 100% would never want him on the team.

History of Gray/Grey

The modern day spelling of gray (grey) actually comes from the Old English grǣg. Throughout the centuries there have been many variations in spellings, ei and ey and ai and ay.

 

There have also been attempts to distinguish grey and gray into different colors or hues, with the color gray being a simply black and white mixture but the color grey being slightly bluer. Perhaps this is why national surveys in both England and the United States show that many people believe these are actually two different hues, even though they aren’t.

 

Despite the complicated history, all you need to know is that they are used for different audiences.

 

Remember the Difference

A great trick to remember when to use which of these two words is that Gray is used in America and Grey is used in England.

 

Summary

So, how do you spell grey? Well, even though people get confused on the gray vs. grey debate, they can actually be used interchangeably. It is still important, however, to keep your audience in mind.

 

I clearly don't care about my audience. Sorry everyone. I know that in the past there has been discussion about who is a "must read" (especially prior to 4/16). My posts are more clearly a "forced to read" rather than "must read". My apologies.

I thought grey was just how fancy people spelled it. Kinda like how fancy people pronounce vase (voz) while commoners say vase (vayz).

 

I say “vayse”

Grey because the characters were vaguely British.

Thanks man, at least someone else understood.

 

I have no problems with your poll either.

 

Simple yes or no question, and the correct answer is 'no'.

Your poll is fine. It simply includes the two ways to get rid of JBJ. Some are over analyzing.

Make fake accounts and stuff the ballot box?

 

While I'm at it, maybe I'll send some cartoon porn as well.
