Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

I read this answer on line and I thought it was brilliant.

Q: What’s the difference between gray and grey?

A: Gray is a color, whereas grey is a colour.

I didn't know what the correct spelling was when I was in elementary school, so my teacher looked it up. She said either was correct. If you'd ask me to spell it, I would go with ay, just because that's a pretty common spelling for the long a sound, whereas ey isn't.

I just worked through my monthly expenses, wondering if I had missed something because I haven't been saving quite as much as normal. Nope, I was right. I should still have the same added to my savings each month. Just turns out that all of those fun things I did over the summer cost money. Who woulda thunk??

Ay appears in about 6% of words. Ey is only in about 10 common English words, including grey.

You clearly did not appreciate the effort I put into my reply. I’m wounded. Wounded, I tell ya.

I should clarify... ey spells the long a sound in about 10 common English words. Normally it spells the long e sound, as in "key".

I appreciated it. But you can't post something about phonics and not expect me to bore you with facts and information. Phonics is my wheelhouse.

On a side note, now that summer mode is over, I'm ready for one of two things...

1. Christmas music and Christmas decorations everywhere

OR

2. Next summer break

I'll take either, I'm not picky.

1. first.

In other news, Thanksgiving is four weeks today. Straight into the decorations and music immediately thereafter.

As soon as November 1st rolls around, it's officially Christmas season. October 1st starts the unofficial Christmas season. The preseason, if you will.

Christmas starts on the day after Thanksgiving in the US. Not a minute before.




It will therefore not surprise you to hear of my disgust that Halloween candy was in the aisles in August.

What about Canada? As I said, our Thanksgiving is in 5 weeks* - the second Monday of October. It’s not even a big deal here like it is for you guys.

*Yes, I know I earlier said 4 weeks. I counted on my fingers wrong.
