I imagine it must be weighing a lot on you!

Hah, nice. But I think it's defense.

Both spellings are correct.

Defence is the original British spelling.

Defense is the Websterized American spelling.

“Gray” is American English and “Grey” is proper English.

Same thing with “color” and “colour” OR “school” and “shooting range”.
