"Tow" isn't a colour generally recognised by most New Zealanders (at least according to my exhaustive statistically-correct survey where n = 1).
Most NZers would be looking for the metal eye sticking out of the boy's head, with steel cable tow-rope an optional extra.

I'm sure you're right. However, somewhere in my malformed psyche, there was a small shred of human decency left, and it has prompted me to abandon any further attempts at weakening Jackie's resolve. Her awesome self-restraint should be applauded, not sabotaged.

Et tu, Maxé!
Fine time to do a turn-around, my friend! Uh-uh, no way,
too late! Deliberate malice aforethought! In fact---
c'mere a minute, I want to queen your plordle.
And--AND! You said: "Who would have thunk it - a native Noo Yorker who spells grey properly? Way to go, Helen!"
I have spelt it that way, but do I get any acknowledgement?? NO! So--hrmph, grumble, and mutter!
Carpe Quordlepleen!
Love,
The Last Murderess-I-mean-Worderess

Jackie raged: In fact---c'mere a minute, I want to queen your plordle.
Well, Avy, there you are. She's turned it around to human relations. And it doesn't look good for anyone, particularly for our soon-to-be-late Max with the Queened Plordle. Can I watch? Sounds like the whole chicken to me!

through the miracle of google, I have finally discovered the definitive word on this age old (viz. graying) debate:
gray wolves are the only wolves in Norrath who drop the medium quallity pelt needed for tailoring whips. grey wolves do not drop this pelt.

And Dornford Yates, that most English of English light-novelists, always spelt it as "gray."
e.g - Jill's gray eyes looked up at me gravely - - -

I used to play that game, it's pretty good, but it costs $9.89 a month. Of, course, I cancelled it when I found this place.
