[Mixolydian]

Very surprised at the poll results so far! And a little disappointed. :\

Gray is a color, Grey is a name.

Webster fixed the spelling of a lot of words that were needlessly spelled the wrong way in English. I see no reason to avoid using the letter j in jail, so I see no reason to avoid using the letter a in gray.

Grey

I have never even seen "Gray" used except for the brand of squash/tennis gear...

Grey & Colour are how things are spelt and used in the commonwealth. 🙂 Z is also [Zed] not [Zee] ! hehe 🙂

People that would agree with the colour being grey:

In short someone else nailed it before:
Colour = Grey
Color = Gray

Both, since being Canadian i get influenced by English spelling as well as US spelling.

"Pole" or "Poll"?

Poll. Gray or Grey is ok.

One is a US spelling, the other is a UK spelling. Half the forum users are probably from the US, a majority of the other half is from UK English countries and the rest are US users who want to feel special by using UK spelling.

I use gray, but I also use colour.

it's not quite the same as color vs colour.

gray vs grey doesn't phonetically change the word. it doesn't even raise the ire of my spellchecker as i type this in. (colour does.)

That's probably because it's a common last name. Does it try to capitalize?

My US English spellcheck said grey was wrong. I had to add it to the dictionary.
