Blonde vs Blond

[juggernaut911]

i use BLONDE even though im american, and i have blonde hair!

This is another one of those moments when americans prove they can't speak their own native tongue (ok, not all of them, but the general majority) and simplify the original british Blonde into Blond. Same as in colour/color. Firefox suggests blond because you probably have it set on something called "US English".

Brits ftw!

 

[Law]

Microsoft Word says that it doesn't matter which way it's spelt. No red underline in English U.K. or English U.S.

i like red haired ones....

 

[Twiffles]

Brunette?

 

[Mangofett]

I always thought of using it kind of like a french conjugation

blond for guys
blonde for girls

 

[DarkAura]

Either one is correct, but I prefer blonde because it's closer to the pronounciation.

Huh? They're both the same in terms of pronunciation...

Me confused....

blondish adjective
blondness |?bl?n(d)n?s| noun
USAGE The spellings blonde and blond correspond to the feminine and masculine forms in French. Although the distinction is usually retained in Britain, American usage since the 1970s has generally preferred the gender-neutral blond. The adjective blonde may still refer to a woman’s (but not a man’s) hair color, though use of the noun risks offense ( : See that blonde over there?): the offense arises from the fact that the color of hair is not the person. The adjective applied to inanimate objects (wood, beer) is typically spelled blond.

adjective

ORIGIN late 17th cent. (earlier as blond): from French, feminine of blond.
USAGE See usage at blond .
