I've seen both the spellings of Grey/Gray, as in the color/colour, and wanted to know what you lot thought. Which do you use, and is it acceptable to use them interchangably?
I've seen both in the 40k codices, so I'm not sure which GW approves either...

Either is acceptable since they're both right. Grey is what we use here in the UK and since GW is UK based, they used 'Grey'. Same way that in the U.S. you spell it 'color' and we spell it 'colour'.

Grey, which is the correct spelling. Much in the same way that colour, honour, centre etc are correct and everyone else is wrong

I use either, depending on my mood, audience, and if I'm trying to make fun of any of my friends.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Even as an American I prefer grey, it's more aesthetically pleasing.

I prefer Grey, but grew up with little kids posters saying 'gray'. Now, I just use Gray if I want to piss english teachers off.

Everyone knows Grey's are the worst, how you have to knock them out instead of killing them, and then taking them back to the lab to get good equipment.
I prefer Grays. Sometimes a Gray will buy you a drink, most Greys just try to shoot you.
