Grey or Gray?

[louby_4eva]

I spell it Grey.

One of my best friend's last name is Gray so that must be correct.

I have a friend who's last name is Gray as well, so I assumed it was the wrong way to spell the colour.

Grey, I think. I probably slip in between the two without thinking, though.

[DMKA]

Last names have nothing to do with the correct way to spell a word just because it shares the same pronounciation.

[Rini]

"Gray" looks funnier and poetic somehow, because I normally use "Grey" and it sounds and looks so "normal" to me :P
Otherwise it's not that big a deal.

There's a difference in connotation to me.

I prefer using grey, as it's a hardcore 333333 or 555555, but gray has the feeling of having a hue, usually of green or blue.

Ah, this thread is confusing me, and I don't even know which one I use anymore. I think I'll avoid using for the rest of my life. How often can the word come up anyways?

[Old Manus]

It's like 'disc' and 'disk'.

[kikimm]

And like "I" and "eye".

Either grey or gray is how it is spelt in USA and the other is how it's spelt in UK. I can't remember which one is which btw

[Shoeberto]

I'm pretty sure it's not so much of a regional difference as it is just personal preference. My English teacher wouldn't have a problem with me interchanging "grey" and "gray," however he might get me when using "colour" rather than "color."

Maybe your friend and my friend are related! Or maybe they're the same person!!!

Yes, I know. I was making a joke. I still spell it gray, though. That much was serious.

[crashNUMBERS]

I dont really care actually. And I love that elephant joke you pulled off...

[Clouded Sky]
