Poll: How is it spelled: Grey or Gray?

[Hyperactiveman]

In the colour sense? (yes I spell colour with a U)... I use E.

However I do have a friend who's surname is Gray.

 

[Flunk]

Grey is the English spelling, which is used everywhere but the US. Gray is the American spelling. You might as well have a thread about who is American or not.

I think grey looks nicer, but my spell check always bitches at me for it so I usually give in and switch it to gray.

I spell the color "Gray," but I spell the Alien species "Grey."

I spell the color "Gray," but I spell the Alien species "Grey."

I don't think you can spell Greys with an 'a'.

 

[Kurokami]

Grey looks cooler imo, i write the color gray though usually, =[

Gray. I'm American. I think that gray is new English.

I once wrote "Grey" on a spelling test and it got marked wrong. The teacher said "That's another right way to spell it, but it's not the way I was thinking of."

 

[Joshimodo]

Grey.

I live in America, so I'm weird and spell it Gray.

Gray = Colour

You misspelled "Color"

You're the ones who molested the English language, not us.

I have a pet cat named Greyboy.
It's a description and a name. So in his case, Gray is Grey.

I'm pro-grey all the way.

My English teacher put this on a test. I always hated her.... Anyway, I think I usually gray, because when I type really fast, it comes out a gary.... or sometimes gery, so it might be grey... I don't know, stop asking me hard questions!

 

[Cryfear101]

hmm depends what mood im in at the time .

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.

actually they are interchangable: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/grey?r=75

Well if you are Aussie go with G R E Y, if you are American then go with Gray...silly americans love their A's.

I tend to spell it gray just because my fingers prefer to go to the A instead of the E. On the odd occasion though I will go for the E instead of the A.
