Your point? Obviously you have never looked the words up. They are interchangeable. In other words, they both mean the same thing, according to Websters Universal Dictionary.

Gray bad?
Just wondering, has the rule changed in that gray must by abbreviated to Gy? Nothing in the BOS2. Nothing in CP. Account is verbatum. Doc says clearly gray, and since I have been typing him for 3 years, it has never been changed. QA had changed gray to Gy in an otherwise flawless report that I don't know why was sent to QA to begin with (this dictator isn't under 100% review and neither am I). Am I missing something, or is this QA on a power trip. I love QA and they do wonderful stuff, but, there are some who...well...may need to remove their heads from their bum.
