why is this not one way or the other?

addendum: wow, thanks everyone. I truly never knew it was a British vs. American spelling thing.

    I think it’s a USA vs European English thing.

    I prefer the ‘grey’ spelling though, even though ‘gray’ is most common in the states.

        Nah, I think that was part of the terms of Brexit, given more people in the EU speak it than in Briton they get to claim the weird spellings… At least they let the Brits keep there combined use of metric and imperial.

        /s if it wasn’t obvious
