'Grey' or 'Gray'?

[Jairo]

I distinctly remember my crayons saying 'grey' in kindergarten

I think it's like the word Color, that's the American version. England spells it colour, and they spell gray grey. We spelled it gray. But it isn't official or what all Americans are to call it, Americans were just the first to spell it that way

america is just a really unnecessarily independent country. america drives on the other side, different measurement system, etc

Yes, and it annoys me. I really wish we would at least switch over to the metric system. The only other country in the world using our measurements is some African country, last time I checked. They probably switched.

I'm sure some american-owned islands still use our customary stuff like puerto rico and the samoa (although both of them are too smart for the us's stupidity)

I don't know, it's kind of a gray area for me.

Interesting to note that the majority of countries drive on the right, not the left.



Red is right, blue is left. Notice how most of the countries driving on left are former British colonies. So in reality... you guys are the ones behind the curve driving-wise.

Also, the customary system just makes more sense to me. Not the conversion part, but the base units. Meters and kilograms are too big to describe most things I describe on a daily basis, and kilometers are too short. Feet, pounds and miles are just right.

But your grammar rules make more sense than ours. If English adopted American spelling and British grammar, we'd have the perfect language.

interesting.
I just google'd this stuff and it turns out about 80 countries drive left and 166 or so do the right

I believe "grey" is how it was always spelt, even before America was colonized. Then the US broke away and changed the spelling of things such as colour (color), and yes, grey (gray). I would think it depends on where you're spelling it.

because it matters what side of the car you drive from.
