Have you often wondered "Am I spelling g-r-e-y correctly...or is it g-r-a-y?". How do you spell the color grey or gray? Well, the answer is they are both correct. There are two acceptable spellings. Gray is used primarily in the United States and other areas that use US English. Grey is used in Great Britain and areas that use UK English.

No weirder than the rest of us with our cheap Chinese imports

As that is not an option, might one assume that you are dyslexic?

You mean colour?

Like in the sentence "The aluminium is the colour grey"

I was taught that grey was a blend of black and white, and that they are tones, not colour.

In fact, they represent the absence of colour.

So .

Hahaha. This post makes it clear who the winner is. Awesome.

I'd say aluminum is silver and not gray/grey.

I don't think there really is an option for Americans or Brits either.

It was the only other word I could think of that you lot spell incorrectly

Alas, you are correct. Of course, black is the lack of colour in the additive colour system (RGB) and white is the lack of colour in the subtractive colour system (CYM). At least, I think that's right.

True, but between them this site is in English, not German.

Grey...just like Colour, Rumour, Foetus

 

[flopticalcube]

The issue is not altogether black and white...or is it? Grey.
