"grey" is normally used as a surname, "gray" is the colour.

'Grey' is the traditional British spelling, whereas 'gray' is a more American spelling.

Agreed, not again. After a certain version, all rares which had names to do with quests e.g. New Years Rocket (Red Smoke Machine), were changed to make it easier for Habbos to use them. It's just common sense on assigning the colors to make it easier. :S

I really hope there isn't another thread on this, there's been 20 odd on the same thing.

Typical americanisms
These rly grind my gears when ppl spell things using the american way [like Realize with a z not an s and gray not grey].. just shows how much they really learn in school i think..
For me, spelling is one of the most important things you can learn, and *must* learn, for if you can't spell well, in jobs, you'll find it hard..

It's nothing to do with school, it's just part of the American dictionary. (Which is just the same as the English one, with a few changes :p).

Americains spell like they prenounce it. It has been posted but not for a while. I suggest the thread is closed before this turns into an argument like usual.

I've always spelt grey as grey? I think spelling is important, so act, I hope your comment wasn't aimed at me?!

If there are British people on here, they should be proud of it. Use there "s"s instead of "z"s, call their mothers their mums, not moms, and spell the British way. I haven't got anything against American people, I just think it's a bit sad that Britishness is slipping away.
