School Spelling Question - That Not White, Not Black Shade

[Kermit]

Officially, gray is the US spelling, and grey is the British spelling. I used to work at a magazine and had to look it up to prove it to one of the other writers before. All of the style guides I consulted were in agreement.

ROFL!!! I had this dilemma when helping DS with his homework a few weeks ago. I finally got out the dictionary and GRAY had the whole definition listed(the color, ie the skies are gray, etc...) and GREY said a variation of gray. So, I came to the conclusion either is correct.

How about both? Half the time I spell it with an a, half the time with an e.

Today is sunny, which is good. I'm tired of the grey skies.

[Bichon Barb]

I spell it "gray", and DH said "grey". But then again, DH is a lousy speller.
