    If you were writing for an American audience in 1815, or a British audience before 1935, you could get away with using gaol. Nowadays, however, jail is the accepted form in both of these language communities.

    Yes ... For the ignorant in our society.

    Justification for a spelling mistake is not acceptable.

    I'm curious as to what the problem is with (I assume) "jail" as opposed to "gaol"

    I don't see where you got the American slant. The dictionary I quoted was the Cambridge dictionary. I think you'll find that's English.

    The etymology of the word jail, is that it comes from the French, jaile. More about it here:

    Yep.....if you search enough on google, you'll always find the result you want to believe.

    Congratulations. I'm glad America hasn't colored your outlook.
