This is similar to the color topic. How do you spell gray/grey? I spell it grey.

It's spelled gray. ._. Just to let you know, it is not spelled "grey".

Well I spell it gray. When I type them both on Microsoft word, grey gets a little red line underneath it (to show that it's misspelled) unless it's capitalized.

Uh, grey is a valid variant of gray. 'Grey' is more dominant in countries like England and Canada, while 'gray' is used in the US.

I am Irish so I would use grey so to Americans stop saying we are wrong if we spell it grey!

Grey. I hate it when ignorant people think I'm spelling it wrong when I know I'm not.

The reason it's underlined is because you can set Word to different versions of English. Yours would be (USA) English. If you set it to (Canada) English gray would be underlined in red.

Wait, what? So it depends on the language (English/Canadian opposed to American) whether it is gray or grey?
Dang it! Took me forever to remember to spell it gray instead of grey. I feel americanized...

Well, when someone just asked the question, my mind went somewhere else... I mean, I forgot what it was. Then I remembered.

Grey is the original. I spell it that way... but that's just cause I'm in a commonwealth country. Those cheap Americans change what ever they get their hands on.

Grey...

grey is better than gray for me beacuse the "e" is nerer to the "r# than the "a" so i can write faster
