what is the difference between 'grey' and 'gray'?

Question

i dont know???????

Answer 1

The original spelling was "grey," but American spelling dictates it as "gray."

It is kind of like the difference between words like organise/organize and judgment/judgement. Even color/colour! They can be spelled different ways; they have the same meaning, however.

Also, they may have different connotations, meaning they have slightly different negative and positive uses.

It's kind of the difference between British and American spellings. British spelling is VERY different in some cases from American spellings.

Answer 2

Nothing. They're just spelled differently. I think
that 'grey' is used in the United Kingdom and
'gray' is used in America. Some country which
are or was a part of The United Kingdom use
'grey' too. Canada might spell gray 'grey' too.

Answer 3

Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century, pace Dr. Johnson and others, and is but a minor variant in American English. Some American writers tend to assign wistful, positive connotations to grey, as in "a grey fog hung over the skyline", whereas gray often carries connotations of drabness, "a gray, gloomy day."

Answer 4

grey has an e and gray has an a. lol just kidding i don't know the difference.
