I'm wondering how Georgia is spelling "gray".

:hand: grey

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, but that's an accepted spelling since that's pretty much how every other country in the world spells it.

Gray vs. grey
Gray and grey are different spellings of the same word, and both are used throughout the English-speaking world. But gray is more common in American English, while grey is more common in all the other main varieties of English. In the U.K., for instance, grey appears about twenty times for every instance of gray. In the U.S. the ratio is reversed.


Again, it's a matter of the Yanks not being able to make proper use of the English language. They have tended to spell as they pronounce - phonetically!
