    Gray or Grey?

    How do you spell the color? Gray or Grey? i know both are correct, just wondering which one you use.

    For me grey seems like the ''correct'' option, but i'm not an English native speaker... i just see it being used more often.

    Poll on !

    I use "gray" mostly. Maybe I just like letter "a"

    I actually change between the two, but never within the same text.

    Most often I end up with grey, though :P

    I basically use whatever. Not having or knowing the definitive way to spell something bothers me when I use the word. Like colloquialism. Screw that word.

    I always thought Grey was the correct one, and Gray was just a name?

    I use both actually. When I am just talking about the color as a stand alone noun in terms of other colors I use gray. Anything that uses the term to describe sort of dark, dingy, cloudy or describing British food I use grey.

    Spell it with an "e," you mongrels!

    Grey is the correct way, it's the UK way.

    I've always used grey. Gray just looks a little weird to me. O.o

    I use gray sometimes I don't know why though. I use grey most of the time, so, that's my answer.

    Blizzard, I don't even?

    I thought Grey was the color and Gray was for names. If you wowhead grey and gray, you come up with much more results for gray where gray indicates color :/

    Always used Grey, cant say I put much thought into it however. Probably forget at times what it is in English and use "Grå" instead so... :P
