it's quite odd, in that it flicks back and forward, and shots of him randomly walking, or staring etc. i think it's great!

I'm pretty sure 'gray' is the English spelling. It's one of the few words I spell in American.

Here's a fun one:

Gaol: Pronounced the same in the US and UK, just the Americans spell it differently...

Gaol does not mean the same as goal. Gaol is a jail/prison, whjere as goal is a target, or plonking the ball in the net (goal) in soccer.

GrEy is the British spelling.. Gray is the US spelling...

How about we forgo all that GRAY v GREY madness and just use "Light-Black"?

Well, I had meant Gaol/Jail.

Queue doesn't seem to exist in America either. They spell it 'line'

Queue exists, it's just not generally used in the context of people lining up.

From the Mirriam-Webster's Reference Dictionary on my computer:

1queue \"kyu\ n [F, lit., tail, fr. L cauda, coda] 1 : a braid of hair usu. worn hanging at the back of the head 2 : a waiting line (as of persons)

2queue vb queued; queu•ing or queue•ing : to line up in a queue

Well, any time I've used the word around these parts, they've looked at me funny.
