How do you spell blond(e)?
 
Firefox's built in spell checker tells me I'm wrong every time I write out blonde, but that's just how I'm used to spelling it and I think it's the more common way. I just hate seeing those red squiggles every time I spell it but I can't break the habit!

So... blonde or blond?

Violetta 10-30-2007 09:19 AM

Blonde in english
Blond in Norwegian :)

TurboAngel 10-30-2007 09:22 AM

I spell it Blonde myself. I see the same thing, red squiggles.

Scott McD 10-30-2007 09:23 AM

I heard someone say that blond is a guy and blonde is a girl. Not sure if that is correct. I guess it would be like fiance is a guy and fiancee is a girl. the latter having the accent mark

tranza 10-30-2007 09:31 AM

Blonde over here too.

PornMogul 10-30-2007 03:58 PM

blond for guys and blonde for girls

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blond

Writers of English will still distinguish between the masculine blond and the feminine blonde[2] and, as such, it is one of the few adjectives in English with separate masculine and feminine forms. However, many writers use only one of the spellings without regard to gender, and without a clear majority usage one way or another. The word is also often used as a noun to refer to a woman with blond hair, but some speakers see this usage as sexist[2] and reject it.

WiredGuy 10-30-2007 04:01 PM

I love either one of them...

Generally "blond" if it deals with humans.

"Blonde" if it deals with a hue of beer.

Ross 10-30-2007 04:08 PM

Depends how I'm using it. If its a description and I'm tight for space I drop the E from the end. Most of the time tho I spell it "blonde" if I can get away with it. Damn description limits!

directfiesta 10-30-2007 04:10 PM

RyuLion 10-30-2007 05:18 PM

SilentKnight 10-30-2007 06:32 PM

Now that we've solved that...

Is it cheque...or check?

Blonde.

Mozilla and entourage coded a decent browser - you want them to spell correctly as well? :winkwink:

Brother Bilo 10-30-2007 06:36 PM

Adding an "e" at the end is for Euro fags. Americans don't waste time with unnecessary letters.

Check if your in the US at least, cheque in other English speaking regions.

Now move onto grey or gray.

It's a cheque if it's worth anything or a check if it's in US dollars :thumbsup

tony286 10-30-2007 06:40 PM

aico 10-30-2007 06:41 PM

blonde
check
grey

StarkReality 10-30-2007 07:01 PM

A blond girl is a blonde...

ungratefulninja 10-30-2007 08:03 PM

Blonde. Check. Randomly use gray or grey.

Jim_Gunn 10-30-2007 08:12 PM

In American English it is almost always blonde. Blond is fairly rare in American English. The only time I have seen it "blond" without the 'e' is sometimes on 80's and 90's old school gay porn movie titles, he he.

CDSmith 10-30-2007 08:25 PM

Both variations are correct, in all 3 words mentioned.

Blonde/blond -- http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/blonde

Cheque/Check - http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/cheque

Gray/grey ---- http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/gray

Jim_Gunn 10-30-2007 10:13 PM

Saying all those variations are "correct" is overly simplistic. The variations both exist but that really conveys no information to the discussion. Most newspapers and other publications , as well as writing all over the internet and elsewhere tends to standardize on one usage or the other in different countries.

In the case of check vs cheque, that is in essence 100% divided between US usage and usage elsewhere in British English. In other word you will never really see "cheque" in the US anywhere and in England you would rarely see "check" to refer to a negotiable bank instrument.

Blond is MUCH more rarely used than blonde here in the US, probably by 95% to 5%. Gray is another word that is used more here in America rather than grey to refer to the color. But you will see 'grey' pop up in certain terms like to refer to types of horses and in other obscure uses.
