I love this, but would you mind if I made a really little Britpick ?

You're talking about the spelling of grey aren't you?

I love it too. The ending made me cry.

[pinguthegreek]

Nope, not that. It's a tiny niggle, but we don't use the word gift so much. I think Donna would call it a present.

Ah. Noted. See, that's one of the little things that's hard for an American (even one who's an Anglophile) to pick up on.

As to the spelling... I've always had a bit of a dilemma with that. I try to get the British tone down as much as possible, wording-wise, but I've got it in my head that if I also tried to spell everything the British way, it would be insulting the intelligence of British readers, especially if I betray my American-ness in some other way (like gift/present). Is that a silly concern, or should I go ahead and write "grey" and "colour" and "favourite"?

Awwwww! That's really cute... and sad. I love it :-)

I really liked this. Beautiful, funny and sad all at the same time.
