This has no purpose whatsoever. I'm just really really bored.

I'm an American, so I spell things the American way. *waves a tiny flag* Except for the word "grey." I have always preferred it over "gray." I also like "travelling" better, but whenever I use it in Word, I get a red squiggly line.. :(

Me too! I think "grey" is just much prettier than "gray". And I've always been a little confused about "travelling", to be honest.

(For this comment, I decided to use the logical British system I just learned, which puts punctuation inside quotes if it relates to the quote, and outside if it relates to the entire sentence. The American system has never made much sense to me.)

The American system has never made much sense to me.

The way old printing presses were set up, the American system prevented the punctuation from getting lost. At least, that's what I've been told. Now it's just silly.

[hopefulnebula]

Yeah. I use both, sometimes interchangably. But always "theatre," and nearly always "grey."

Until just now I never knew that both grey and gray were correct. Wow! And the word 'colour' gives me trouble, because of HTML I switch back and forth between the two spellings So much, in one paragraph it could be switched sevral times.
