Carli Gazoorian- Why are there two spellings for the word gray…grey?

Grey is more often used by British people, and gray is mostly used in America.

In America, it’s spelt gray, and in Europe it’s spelt gray. I doubt there’s a reason for the difference; it’s just another variation, just like there are different accents and languages around the world. Gray/grey isn’t the only word that’s spelt differently in different countries (doughnut/donut, color/colour, favorite/favourite, etc)… Hope this helped 🙂

“grey” is Canadian/British, “gray” is American
