“But isn’t it time to lay down the sword? Or is English to remain a language whose spelling varies from country to country, publication to publication—and even within the same publication if you happen to catch it at different times or different editorial reigns? Gray or grey is the least of the problem.”

It only has to feel natural and good to the writer and be readily comprehensible to the readers, though this does not negate the idea of an 'official' standard, if we could get around the querulous and sticky issue of who gets to be the official voice, hah!
