The spelling of gray, or grey, has always been a problem for me. I've never been sure which is correct. When it reaches the breaking point, Google becomes your friend.

Much like color vs colour, gray is the more common spelling in America, while grey is the way it's spelled in Britain. A tip on how to remember which to use, the A in grAy is American, while the E in grEy is English.

May I never struggle with this again, although just like I occasionally like to use colour, I may likewise go for the grey spelling. Grey just feels a little more dreary to me, like grey skies. While Gray is something of a happier note, like what I'd pull out of my box of Crayons. After all, they don't call them Creyons, do they?
