*Mind blown*
I did not know there were such things as counting scales.

| | I am not trying to stir up bad feelings or cause trouble, but the reality
is that if we change our names to suit some users, we are causing problems for
others. It's like BrickLink's XP wanted to dumb down our catalog structure
so that newbies have less trouble. What they ended up with was a mess! There's
a balance and I think much of what we have built here is good for most of us
and occasionally confusing for new people.

I think the OP should also consider the irony in Jennifer not thinking this is
a good idea, having been involved in the last change AND having th store name
“OLD GREY BRICKS”.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Ha, ha! You got me. And, I spell the Gray my own way too. Nothing but trouble
here.

How about we rename Light Bluish Gray to Light Grey, and retain the "A" for the
older color:
Light Gray (1970s through 2003)
Light Grey (2004 though the present)

BWAAA HA HA HA!

it to Gray because you think it’s spelt incorrectly” tip.

That writer is committing name-ism. If I think your name is Gray, and you think
it's Grey, who are you to tell me what I should think. I'll speak my
truth, thank you very much.
