Alas, I got the 'grey' bullied out of me. I used to use that spelling all the time. And then I had an English teacher who was downright cruel in his denunciation of it: "You're an American. Spell like one." Out of fear for my grade, I reverted to the much more pedestrian 'gray.'
Ah...another butterfly of childhood creativity brutally squished by the American public educational system.
