Blond or Blonde?

Is it “blond” or “blonde”, with an e? Well, it depends who you ask. It means the same thing (having light-colored hair) but the word is originally French, where “blond” is the masculine form, and “blonde” (with an e) is the feminine form.

But that meaning got a bit lost in English, where American language rules prefer to use “blond” to describe everyone, whereas British style guides prefer “blonde”.
