How to spell grey/gray?

[Moontide]

Do you prefer to spell it grey or gray. I personally spell it grey, though gray is more phonetic.

[snubs]

I spell it both ways. I can't say which I use more.. maybe "grey"

[Laurie]

I spell it gray. Never thought of using grey.

[Catspaw]

I go back and forth on this one. When it comes to the optional "u" in words (colour, favourite etc.) I consistently go for the British/Canadian way, which is to include the "u." For gray and grey, I'm inconsistent. Grey is the more traditional British way, while gray is more common in the US. For whatever reason, this variation doesn't really matter to me. The English language is an odd and interesting thing, that's for sure!

How is it spelled with a u? o_0

[DanP740]

She's referring to words like colour and favourite, which is the British/Canadian spelling, and how grey is the English spelling and gray is the American spelling.

I go with grey, personally.

I used to spell it grey... and then someone said that it wasn't that way... now I spell it "Gray".
