When you were little (or even now), did anyone else mess up "blue" and bleu"?

Yeah, I did, sometimes.
The worst part was learning other languages, and the words would look so similiar to english words...it was hard to keep them straight sometimes.

I say yay...to an extent. No one's perfect; they just can't type to where you can't understand them.

crying I admit it. I sometimes slip in and out of British spelling. In fact, my spelling is a combination of the American and British way of spelling things more often than not. Which is really stupid, I know. But I can't help it. I have no idea how "grey," "humour," and the like slipped into my little list of words in my brain.
Blue is actually spelt "Bleu" when you're referring to "bleu cheese." Which is very nasty. XD

Grey has always been a main part of my vocabulary. I can't stand the seeing it with an 'a'.

I'm more of a punctuation nazi than a grammar nazi, but I'll look into that guild as well. Sorry if the topic has drifted and I've dragged it back to the original subject, but I'm too lazy to read all the posts in this thread.

All of the topics in this guild have a habit of drifting off subject. xd

I always use the "u"s. Such is the Canadian way.

I tend to go back and forth between using the "u" and "grey" and "gray". Sometimes one way looks right, sometimes another way looks right.

Hnn... Interesting. My mind's never done that with any particular word before.

Sailor_Chibi I tend to go back and forth between using the "u" and "grey" and "gray". Sometimes one way looks right, sometimes another way looks right. I always understood that grey is used in a name like Greyson or Sir Grey. But the color is represented as gray.

I've seen 'gray' used as someone's name before. In fact, it was my ninth grade math teacher's first name.

atepah Sailor_Chibi I tend to go back and forth between using the "u" and "grey" and "gray". Sometimes one way looks right, sometimes another way looks right. I always understood that grey is used in a name like Greyson or Sir Grey. But the color is represented as gray. I looked it up. Both are used interchangeably. Now I wonder who told me the grey name thing.
