I feel like this could be negotiated: as in we will trade removing one additional u from another word if everyone switches to spelling it grey.
100%. I am an American and always spell it with an e then have to go back and "fix" it. Boo.

I can't abide the way Americans spell grey with an a. It's too perky with an a. Grey needs to look dull unless it's on your head.

Absolutely wild watching every American media org incl progressive ones like NYMag remember Bardot as an animal rights defender and not mention her vicious racism
Meanwhile this article from Le Monde English is how I found out she died
It's hard to overstate how much American media fails Americans

“In the 1990s, after withdrawing from film sets, the star adopted those views and married Bernard d'Ormale, adviser to Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the far-right Front National (FN), the precursor to today’s Rassemblement National.”
Brigitte Bardot's 30 years of sympathy for the far right
Convicted five times for racist remarks, the actress – whose foundation announced her death on Sunday, December 28 – remained one of the only French celebrities to openly embrace far-right views.

Everyone should boycott any Hampton Inn unto perpetuity for this disgusting policy. There goes anybody but for the grace of a paycheck or violence. All sorts of things befall people, never imagine you are beyond being homeless. I've been homeless because of a violent neighbour.
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.
