Gray and Grey are names.

These unfortunate people's parents have just used variants of the same adjective/noun/verb.

I use it both ways. Just depends on the situation I'm using it in. I think "grey" is more formal.

I've always used "grey" - I think as a holdover from the Little Grey Rabbit books and other English children's books. "Gray" seems just... odd.

I'm ambigreaydextrous.

I literally have used both and consider both to be correct. When I was teaching, I let kids spell it whichever way worked.

LOL. 'xactly.

Gray for the color.

Grey for a mood/type of day and the TV Show.
