That might depend on which dictionary you are using as your authority. Under "mould" mine (Webster's College Dictionary, 1995) simply says that mould is more a British spelling. I have to turn to "mold" to get all three definitions. The same applies to gray-grey. Look up grey and all I find is "gray." I need to turn there to find all the definitions (where it also implies that we tend to use them interchangeably). Some of you will remember the big discussion several years ago of whippen versus wippen. Following that whippen seems to have fallen into disuse. At least I don't recall seeing it since then.
