Ok, during our seminar class, Jenni, Yuki, and I had this conversation about the color 'GREY'. I'm telling you, what's up with that color? It could be spelled 'GREY' or 'GRAY'. Which do you prefer? I remember we had a survey around the class, but I don't remember our results. HI YUKI!

I prefer to use "grey" However, the term 'gray', I think, is the original way of spelling. 'gray' would refer to relating(or of) to an achromatic color between the lightness of white and black... "grey", I think, is a later spelling, "grey" as we all know, is the spelling of last names 'Grey', after some time of this last name being around, I think that 'grey' became a sort of 'slang' way to spell the original 'gray'. Therefore, I'll go as far to say that 'gray' is, in fact, the correct spelling of the color 'gray', however since 'grey' is used so often now, it, too, has sort of been adopted to spell the color 'gray'. This is just my opinion, however, even having this opinion, I still prefer to use 'grey' over 'gray'...'gray' just doesn't look right to me, but hey, that's just me!

'Colour' is English. Just like 'humour', 'flavour', 'theatre', 'centre' and all of that stuff that looks a little odd spelling wise.
So, the correct American way to spell 'color' is 'color', not 'colour'. Hm...yeah, I guess that's all I have to say. ;D
