gray or grey?
So all the bickering threads lately invariably seemed to mention a "gray/ey area" here or there. I noticed how many people used the "-ey" spelling and since I don't feel like even looking at the "heavier" threads right now I thought I'd start a totally simple one.
Do you spell the color g-r-a-y or g-r-e-y?
I'm an "a" girl myself. Gray.

Usually gray, but sometimes the other when I'm feeling...well, like spelling it grey.

Random Thread kinda thought or its own thread? THAT is the question.

I didn't think having a ton (or, ok, 2) of "gray" or "grey" posts would be all that welcome in a random thread. Thus, its own.

sorry, off topic:
how about getting the rhyming thread up and running again? It can bring happiness and harmony in these difficult GC times 
Now...back to the important issue at hand...

Does the difference have to do with British vs. American spelling of the word? I'm still unsure, but Crayola uses "gray" so I will use "gray."

"Grey" is supposedly used primarily in UK English and "Gray" is supposedly used primarily in US English.
Woohoo.
