Q: I have always spelt blonde that way. However, I have seen people spell it blond. So which is the right way? * blonde OR * blond
A: It is a French word, you use blond when referring to a man and blonde when referring to a woman; blond is masc. and blonde is fem. To my knowledge it is the only adjective in English that has a masc. and fem. form. It has nothing to do with being English, American or Afrikaans. O tempora o mores!
