Welcome to my perfumed garden

::looks defensive:: It *does* -- "e" is silvery-grey and "a" is charcoal-gray. Sorta. (See, silver has an "e" in it and charcoal has two "a"s -- which has to mean something, right? even though I never actually thought of it that way before. But I now realize I tend to want to use 'gray' only when I'm picturing darker shades. Oy. ::pretends she is perfectly sane and a responsible member of society:: Moving right along...)

-- "If I eventually decide to change the spelling it will be because you feel it's important. I don;t but I respect your opinion, hon." Shit, Gilly. That's beyond nice of you to say, but please don't change the spelling because of me babbling on about spelling in general! I find myself tongue-tied at the prospect and flailing my hands at you. (And anyway, I think back to when I first read your fics -- months and months before I met you; had no clue about where you live -- I don't remember ever feeling sidetracked by anything British, just wowed and completely caught up by the stories. That doesn't change, won't change. So you shouldn't change because of anybody else's thoughts, especially Many-Shades-of-Grey/Gray Me. !!)
