Informal polling right now is running 100% for GRUE but I sort of like the spacing on A GRUE a little better. (Yeah, I know, its just a licence plate).

Further thoughts?

Well, I like A GRUE better, but I didn't feel like fighting against the tide ;)

I agree the spacing is more pleasing with the article, but I'm not sure about it for a license plate. Would you be opposed (and perhaps it wouldn't work anyway) to putting some sort of symbol (a dash, perhaps?) on either side of GRUE?

I agree with you about the spacing and kind of like the idea that anyone not informed about geekspeak might think your plate refers to your last name and first initial.

Can you force a space?

I know you can in New York.

Just don't put X, because that's what you'll get.

Yes, the plates will appear just as imaged above (courtesy the "find a license plate tool" on the Maine State Website.)

What I meant was: What happens if you go back and type [space]GRUE.

Would that work?

At least on their online widget, it doesn't acknowledge the leading space. (So, no. Good idea though)

I'm all for just 'GRUE'. It's obvious there's only one of them (ie, just your car...), so it doesn't need the article. :) a dash on either side may solve the spacing issue.
