6. Gray is the American spelling and the American moral ethic. |
|
Grey was just some chick that Queen Mary beheaded. I think the choice is obvious.

9. "Grey" just seems - er- "grayer" |
|
"Gray" reminds me of "gay": in both the light-hearted and carefree, and in the rainbow banner sense. Also the Merrie month of Month of May. Sort of a good thing to paraphrase Martha.
"Grey" just looks more bleak.
So it would be "We need to think in shades of gray", but "It was a grey and overcast morning".
My spell-checker insists it's "gray", BTW.
