Must we have these Americanisms? It’s ‘gaol’ for goodness’ sake. Like the pub in Biggin Hill.

It's one of those unfortunate instances where usage has rendered the correct form archaic, isn't it? I can't remember the last time I saw it written as 'gaol'. Perhaps I simply haven't noticed.

I shall revert to the English form, both written and verbal. "He spent fifteen years in gayole."

Probably would make more sense if written in Irish as opposed to this thing you refer to as Gaelic/Jailic is Scotch in origin.

Oh yes, the old 'it's not gaelic it's Irish' thing. It's all just made up nonsense, who cares what it's called?
