G: Grey vs. Gray


The G for today could stand for grumbles. What’s the deal with grey vs. gray? A color that is a smush between black and white. They mean the exact same thing.
How’d that even happen? Did someone who was ridiculously popular misspell it? Then all of his friends copied him?
According to google, one (gray) seems to be an American thing.
I must be a strange American though, because I always write it as grey. My spellchecker hates me for it and my critiquers shake their heads, but it just looks more right.
Maybe I’ve just read too much Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia . . .
Which one do you use?
