isn't gray a name though??

So the difference is:

grAy is used in America
grEy is used in England

I also like grey, but I also prefer aubergine over eggplant, so don't mind me mixing English from all anglophone countries xD

Oh my language is all messed up because I read a lot of books from a lot of different areas when I was little. The spelling bees always sucked

i think eggplant is hilarious XD like, who would ever confuse this with an egg? like what even bird??

Excuse you. This even bird, clearly.

Speaking of regional words and pencils...

Did anyone originally learn colored pencils as map colors? I rarely see it used anymore.

not me. i have no idea what they even means XD

assuredly though i don't even have a head so you can guess how much of a brain i have

in the states: no, but that's interesting.

what region used to use that?

Texas...and magic markers. I remember worrying about bringing the wrong ones for school supplies because I didn't know what made them magical.

Maybe in your old days it was map colors |D actually I have colored pencils from a brand caled 'maped' so it's not too far off

I mean, we actually did use them to color in maps when learning geography.

Nope. But I do remember the debate on what to call the colored pencils. We were taught pencil crayons, because they are the pencil version of wax crayons. Comes out people just called them colored pencils.
It was mind blowing. Especially since I was called an idiot for using the "wrong" terminology, even though everyone understood what I was getting at. lol
