Title: Grey vs. Gray
Post by: jitspoe on May 07, 2008, 07:09:30 PM: Poll pretty much says it all. Which spelling do you prefer (for the color)?

For the most part. I'm just curious what people preferred. It seems "gray" is used more often, but I prefer "grey" myself. "Gray" is just one letter away from "merry", and in my mind, pronouncing "merry" with an "r" in it just doesn't seem right.

Edit: haha, word filter got me.

(I *think* I remember something about "gray" being an american derivation of the original. :-)
