Grey or Gray?

[Grade-A]

How do you spell it?

I spell it both ways. But I tend to use gray more. And I spelled it grey on a spelling test and got it wrong.

[f0d]

I have no idea, but I think its both.

Funny, there is both a "Shades of Grey" and a "Shades of Gray" series on NG.

You should've slapped your teacher with a dictionary than.

Anyway, I never really thought about it, but I guess I probably use gray more often than grey.

[KingOfTheKill]

Gray. But people in different areas spell it different.

[Kamikaze-Ninja]

maybe its like Armor and Armour or Color and Colour, and Theater and Theatre...they spell it one way in certain parts of the world,and in america,they spell it the shortest way possible,lol

[Vlux]

I use both. Once I use both spellings in one of my essays and my teacher told me to stick to one.

[LiquidMayCry]

Long time ago. I just remember that for some reason. And I think it was on that test that you take in every grade in elementary school.

[PotatoLock]

grey like this man's sexy face.

its bad enough we use the short spellings. we then butcher it even further without even PRONOUNCING the whole word. ya know?

[UberBarista]

It's both.

Gray, grey: A spectrum of color made by mixing different parts of black and white.

[LAVAGASM]

Grey.

[zimzap]

Grey or gray is a color seen commonly in nature. It is created by mixing white and black in different proportions. Depending on the amount of light, the human eye can interpret the same object as either grey or some other color.

So both are correct.

[Admiral8Q]

I prefere grey, though gray is tecnically the correct one.

Then again I use colour rather than color :P

or Color and Colour

color

,and Theater and Theatre..

Theatre.

.they spell it one way in certain parts of the world,and in america,they spell it the shortest way possible,lol

I think that is incorrect though

I spell it Grey.

[Tharikifa]

Isn't Grey how they spell it in England?

[JadeTheAssassin]

I spell it both ways...actually...I really don't know how I spell "gr_y"..

[fukmehardNpullmyhair]

wow i never even thought of that before.... i do spell them both, i guess. i dunno

[HilariousGenocide]

English or American bastardisation?

[KupaMan]

Both ways are technically correct, but I think it was originally grey. Either way, I think Grey looks better so I use it more often.

You should put "#150517". That way you're always right.

[Miigga]

I checked my english dictionary and it says grey :O Interesting.

I like hex colors.

[someguy]

I've never thought about it before actually. I think I usually spell it as grey though.

[naojason]

They're both proper, however...

Gray tends to be used more for the color itself, like a gray crayon, or "shades of gray".
Grey tends to be used for animals (and some objects), like a grey wolf.

[xGravesx]

I spell it depending how I feel.. though I tend to like Grey more. It looks better to me.

[naojason]

Oh, lets not forget that back in elementary school, I spelt "fourth" instead of "forth" and it was marked wrong, even though the pronouncation is exactly the same. They were bitchy when it came to context. If "gray" was on the spelling list, dammit you spelt GRAY not GREY.

Both ways are correct.... It depends on what part of the world you live in. Australian's spell it differently than Americans.

:/ Dunno why really.
