Poll: How is it spelled: Grey or Gray?

[DrDeath3191]

I personally use grey.

 

[ArcWinter]

You need an "other" option.
In fact grey and gray mean different things.
Gray is more of the simple color, with no shades or tints - just simple, default gray.
Grey is more of the complex, abstract meaning - used when relating to morality and stuff like that.

 

[Shycte]

I've never seen anyone spell it with an A.

So obviously, I use E.

 

[Starnerf]

I use grey, too, but I always see it written as gray.

 

[Arrogancy]

If pressed and couldn't say 'either' I'd go with grey, only because I read the book "The Picture of Dorian Grey".

 

[DannyBoy451]

Gray.

It works better.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I prefer spelling grey with an E, just looks better to me.

 

[Lucane]

You mean the color right? "Grey" it just really sounds like it should be g(ray).

I meant the color, and both forms are used to spell it.

 

[Jark212]

Depends on what country your in... I use Gray...

 

[Some_Jackass]

I use both, cuz Im too lazy to look it up...then I defend however I spelled it to the death when someone tries correcting me...the same goes for colour/color

Well, yes, but that sounds so boring.

Depends whether you're British or American. I'm British, so it's 'grey'.

EDIT: Argh, okay, alright, fine, some other places including parts of America spell it 'grey' as well, stop quoting me already.

Well, I'm American. That pretty much cinches that.

 

[Mr. Grey]

Mark Twain said it best, "I don't give a damn for a man who can spell a word only one way."

And yes, I probably paraphrased. And no, I can't say I truly agree with him. As for myself... Need I really say it? Bah! I will regardless; I spell it grey and always have. Doesn't matter with me how anyone spells it though.

 

[darkless]

Gray = Colour

Grey = Name

EDIT: So i dont wake up in the morning with a million messages telling me I'm wrong I should have added "In my country"

 

[Radeonx]

Depends whether you're British or American. I'm British, so it's 'grey'.

This is the correct reasoning. While I am American, I will use "grey" anyways, because that looks better to me.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Gray = Colour

Grey = Name

I thought it worked the other way around...

 

[Kriptonite]

Whatever my finger types is what goes down. My fingers have minds of their own.

 

[Last of the Chinchillas]

Gray = Colour

Grey = Name

Grape = Jam

Does the spelling really matter? I mean, I've spelled it both ways, and no one's ever said anything to me about it.
