Unaware of the Queen's English, my good lad?

Some years back, I had some good-natured jousting in e-mail with noted
Usenet figure Gharlane of Eddore[1], who had chided me on
rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5 about my use of Commonwealth spelling -- but
certainly didn't allege that it was mistaken. I amused him and almost
won him over with my declaration that of course I write 'grey' rather
than 'grey': because it's much greyer that way.

I miss him a lot. He was erudite and a real character, just what I want
to be when I grow up.
