Greywashing...graywashing?

ok now I want to know what the difference is between grey and gray....ah the joy of the internet(s)... from http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=232 -

So what, then, is the difference between the two spellings? According to Google Answers, the two words have almost the same meaning in all cases, and g-r-a-y is simply an American derivation of the original spelling g-r-e-y. According to Flak Magazine, the difference can be chalked up to the same happenstances that led to organize/organise and judgement/judgment. Apparently e.e. cummings and Prince are partly to blame as well. However, among the several hypotheses for why gray and grey exist, I believe the following to be the best:

Gray is a color.

Grey is a *colour*.

So next time you're faced with the choice of spelling the word "gray," feel free to go with whatever spelling best suits you at the time.

Innuendo is everything, or so I hear

Do you think Tarzan would be as kingly if he were Lord Graystoke?
