Gray or Grey?

[Scrubbed user 3,411]

I've always spelled it as "gray". 'Merica.

[SquipyCheetah 448]

Both, it depends on however I remember to spell it.

[Buzz 1,769]

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!

[LHfunk 422]

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! °^°

Gray.

 

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

[Sabrinie 391]

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

Gray.

Fifty Shades of G( r )ay.

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.

[Burke22 11]

Grey just seems right to me. Although, whenever I search for "grey wool" in Creative mode in Minecraft, it doesn't show up because they spell it gray

[Dark Horse 12,677]

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.

[gamecubeguy214 2,510]

When I'm referring to the Fairy Tail character, I spell it like Gray. When I'm talking about the color, I spell it like grey.

[Amethyst Splash 86]

I would say gray. But I normally don't even use the color gray

[SparklingSwirls 21,194]

I spell it "gray" because that's what it is in American English. If I was in the UK I would spell it "grey".

[rarity1 460]

I'd spell it either way but I think I'm most likely to spell it grey.

[Nsxile 23,274]

I'm fine with spelling it either way tbh.

[Olly 1,006]

Grey for me though Im from the us I don't know why I started spelling it that way but I prefer it

[rainyaviator 34,782]

Honestly, I spell it both ways. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,630]

I use both, but I find myself spelling it as Grey more often than not.

[Ninetales 12,078]

I spell it the UK way as grey.

[Galaxical Phoenix 64]

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.”

[The Wife of Law 18,796]

I spell the word like this: grey

From what I’ve researched, it’s a matter of preference how you spell it. Something about people from England spelling it differently showed up as well. 

[TheRockARooster 44,692]

Grey or Gray?

 

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

[Here No Longer 5,265]

I usually spell it with an a, but there's some times where I spell it with an e because I forget it's supposed to be spelled with an A.

[Lunar Glow 674]

See, it mostly varies as to how English/British or American your family raised you...my mother was born in England, so she raised me to spell "gray" with an "a." I just can't shake the habit now.
