Both spellings are correct, although gray is mainly American English and grey is mainly British English. However, I have to wonder... They quit teaching cursive writing in schools here, and now I have begun to believe they quit teaching the English language too. I hear way too many commercials where USA-born people use incorrect grammar and they aren't even trying to be funny. It bothers me, but I have to live with it. Shot in monochrome mode - no conversion.
This looks similar to the grey weather that we are having here. Television and computer games influence a childâs vocabulary I find and not for the better!
Lovely image. Sadly the world is going downhill. Spelling and grammar are a thing of the past. Kids can't even hold a pen correctly these days. Handwriting will be gone soon. Maths is suffering too. On the odd occasion I pay cash in the store the youngsters on the checkout can't even figure the change without looking at the screen.
Phew! I was feeling lonely. I always check the dictionary when i have to write gray/grey.
As for teaching, i am wondering what exactly are they still teaching? Why all that fuss about the teaching system since the results are so disastrous.
As a side note: when i learned English, it was compulsory to learn the phonetic transcript.
@onewing Thank you, Babs! I agree and counting back change to a customer has become a lost art! I am so shocked when I find someone who knows how to do it. They're usually closer to my age.
@monikozi Thank you, Monica. Take their phones away and they can't communicate. LOL! That used to be a part of learning to read here - sounding out the words.
Wonderful gray image and well composed with the skeleton tree. Unfortunately, our school system has failed us for many years. School boards are so political and lost their way.
It's too bad that children don't learn how to write in cursive, that means they won't read it easily.
They actually brought back cursive in the Ontario curriculum this year. There may be hope yet!
