Mmmmm, I think grAy is the color, and grEy is a last name. When you look up grey it says "see gray".

All I can say is that I'm glad that I'm a native English speaker.
Rosie - after living here for many years, I've come to the conclusion that it really ought to be 'I'm a native American English speaker' since there have been so many other cultures impacts on how things are spelled and pronounced - and even British English in going through the same morphing right now.........:bonk:

I often laugh when people from various states 'help' me with pronunciation of English words - because it's all based on their (often limited) understanding! I was even threatened by a person (who was of German decent) that I should learn to speak 'properly'.........:lmao::mg:

Good points! Earlier this week we had a discussion argument about how to spell the name of one of my favorite Dutch painters correctly. :mg:

So, I will not engage in Gage vs Gauge...;)

... or someone might pull out their 12 ga(u)ge.

A GAGE is a fixed measuring device, not variable. I.E. gage blocks, go/ nogo gages.

A Gauge is a variable measuring device. Height gaude, calipers, dial indicators are all of this category.

Can you document this view or is it merely your opinion of "the way things should be according to tomkin"?
