Grill vs Grille

My loving wife was good enough to point out to me that g-r-i-l-l-e does not spell "grill" as in cooking on a grill.

grille
/ɡril/
noun
  1. a grating or screen of metal bars or wires, placed in front of something as protection or to allow ventilation or discreet observation.


grill
/ɡril/
noun
  1. a metal framework used for cooking food over an open fire; a gridiron.


So when you're out throwing stuff on the barbecue, you're using a grill and not a grille. Learn something new every day!
