s0prano42_x3 I prefer spelling it "grey," but my Firefox spell checker doesn't like that. stressed But I prefer the American "favorite" and "color." It just seems more correct to me. Why not download another dictionary if you don't like the one you have?
Then again, I don't think there's one where they spell "favorite" and "color" but "grey".
Shedra Helix Grey is a name gray is a color. I'm sure that someone told me "grey" is a colour and "Gray" is a name before, so there are probably people with either of these as a name.

Woodnut I've always, for whatever reason, preferred "grey." I would probably use "gray" in writing assignments though, because I've always assumed it was the standard American spelling.
I checked my old dictionary (from the 1930s), and it lists them together as "gray, grey." "Grey" then has its own entry where it specifies, "this spelling of the word is the usual form in England." But since they're listed together in both old and modern dictionaries, I guess either could be considered correct.
Yes, I do perfer "grey" as well, for some reason, but always spell it "gray" for assignments. I guess I just got used to spelling it that way because of my teachers. :/

chiyojo zingebar Silverkleptofox There's anothe word like that: judgement and judgment. Both are correct, but I prefer judgement, and grey as well. It just seems more elegant. I think judgment is used in more of a legal sense. No... "Judgment" was the original, correct spelling... but it's been spelled wrong so much by so many that the extra "e" has become acceptable. However, it is still a secondary spelling, as even if you look up "judgement" in a dictionary, the examples underneath it still use "judgment." ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/judgement ) Hmm... One source also says that the extra "e" spelling is more British, though... so maybe I have it backwards, you know how we Americans love to screw up spelling. wink
Well, technically, isn't American derived from English?
