Long post in response to a CORRECT spelling of blond (blonde)!



Blond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Blond (or blonde, see below) is a hair color found in certain people characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin. The resultant visible hue depends on various factors, but always has some sort of yellowish color, going from the very pale blond caused by a patchy, scarce distribution of pigment, to reddish "strawberry" blond colors or golden brownish blond colors, the latter with more eumelanin.

[edit] Etymology, spelling, and grammar

The word blonde was first attested in English in 1481 and derives from Old French blont and meant "a colour midway between golden and light chestnut". It largely replaced the native term fair, from Old English faeger. The French (and thus also the English) word blond has two possible origins. Some linguists say it comes from Middle Latin Blundus, meaning yellow, others say it comes from Old Frankish *blund which would relate it to Old English blonden-feax meaning grey-haired, from blondan/blandan meaning to mix. Also, Old English beblonden meant dyed as ancient Germanic warriors were noted for dyeing their hair. The linguists who support the Latin origins however say that Middle Latin blundus was a vulgar pronunciation of Latin flavus, also meaning yellow. The word was reintroduced into English in the 17th century from French, and was until recently still felt as French, hence blonde for females/noun and blond for males/adjective.[1]

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. (Another hair color word of French origin, brunet(te), also functions in the same way in orthodox English.)
A woman with platinum blond hair.
A woman with platinum blond hair.

The word is also occasionally used, with either spelling, to refer to objects that have a color reminiscent of fair hair. Examples include pale wood and lager beer.

Many sub-categories of blond hair have also been invented to describe someone with blond hair more accurately. Examples include the following:

* Platinum blond and towhead - nearly white; found naturally almost exclusively in children, but occurring rarely among some adults
* Sandy blond - similar to sand in color
* Ash blond - usually quite fair, with some ashen (grey) tones
* Dirty blond or dishwater blond - dark blond
* Golden blond or honey blond - lighter, with a gold cast
* Bottle blond or bleach blond - artificially dyed blond hair
* Strawberry blond - reddish blond
* Pool blond - with green undertones, from habitual exposure to chlorinated pool water
* Hazy blond or zebra blond - streaked blond and brunette
* Brownish blond - darkest shade of blond with sometimes looking light brown and at other times dark blond

I vote for Gene to get the prize !!!
His dissertation on blond/blonde confirmed
my thinking it could be spelled either way.
I didn't know all that other stuff though
and by the way
....where did the "dumb" blonde come from??

Had to be an American term....from Blondie? Or Ellie Mae??
