Blond Is Not Blonde

Blond/blonde is a rarity in the English language because while both blond and blonde refer to light colored hair, the spelling difference denotes a masculine and a feminine form. Blond refers to a male light haired person, and blonde to a female light haired person. The word, and it's gender distinction, come to English from the French.

Feminine or masculine brownies?

Who cares?

Something else I learned: Blond/blonde in Spanish is Spanish it would be rubio and rubia.
