Athough it does say unless otherwise stated, so The covered themselves with the commonly misspelled words section, but standard American spelling is Gray.  Grey is the British spelling.

A lot of fantasy stories seem to use grey apparently since Tolkien (who was British of course) spelled it that way, Gandalf the Grey.

'Grey' is so much more grey than 'gray' is.

I'm Canadian.  I always write Neighbour and Colour and Grey.

I only had 1 immortal tell me I spelt something wrong, when in reality it was correct.  He was just being American.  *shakes his fist at KRRX*

Grey is correct. When we were working on standardizing, although we went with the American spelling for everything else, the Grey Forest was already in place and had been for years, so we kept grey with an e.

Even the Brits may spell practise with a c, depending on whether it's used as a verb or a noun.

I'm lazy. I don't bother with the extra u's in some words, even though I probably should.

Either graygrey is fine as far as I'm concerned.

So if there is a pc or npc with a desc spelled gray, is that considered a typo?
