Picky, Picky!

I found out today that Internet Explorer has spelling prejudices. When you tell it (in the CSS code, and I assume the HTML code too) you want "grey," it refuses--ignores it and displays the user's default color instead. But "gray" it will accept with pleasure.

(Is this because of dictionary-exposure-challenged programmers? Is it subtle anti-British discrimination? Anti-British-spelling-sympathizers discrimination? Is Tim reading too much between the lines?)

I realized this when I checked out (in IE) a page I had created and posted some time ago; the links were a bright shade of purple which didn't quite match the rest of the colour scheme. Excuse me--color scheme.
