[Binari] what annoys me about dev'ing for the web
Their goddamn lack of consistancy: in CSS you have the color 'grAy' (#808080), but if you want to lighter variant (#D3D3D3) you have to write lightgrEy. For Gates sake. There is no different meaning between gray and grey ! But please, pick one spelling..

Don't know whether it adds something to the discussion but in SVG you have both: grey and gray (diff colors) in diff shades (light, dark, slate, ...) :-/ L. Kenny Billiau wrote:
