  1. 1. Which spelling?

    • gray
      27
    • grey
      49

The colour grey should be spelt as such. And after looking at this, a lot of word/phrases are different between the UK and US instead of the 4 i knew before!

Mentally I think of it either way, but I write it as gray. The funny thing is that the only reason I still write it as gray is because I associate grey with Gandalf, so I always see it as Gandalf the Grey, not the color grey. I'm not even sure that's how it was spelled in the books, it's just what I associate.

Gray.
 
You know why?
 
Fifty Shades of G( r )ay.
 
 
The original movie name is written wrong, this is the real one! °^°

I've always spelled it that way. Always will. Though "grey" is just as acceptable - I believe certain countries tend to spell it one way or another

I honestly use them interchangeably because I don't know which one to use. Pretty much whichever I'm feeling that day is what I use :P

In that context, "Gray" would be incorrect. The "Grey" is for Christian Grey, the dude who did all the stuff.

Yeah. Anyways, it's Gray for me. Dunno, probably because i learned it that way and i am used to it.

I dunno, Gray kinda sounds like it should be short for Gravy, and yet I honestly believe I use it more often then Grey. My spell check doesn't seem to care for either regardless. :P

We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.

Similarly to others in this thread, I spell it “grey” most of the time, but I feel like I occasionally use “gray.”

Like “Greystripe” vs “. . . That’s a gray area.”

I have spelt it both ways, I have no idea why but that’s that.
