Oh look. The cyclist thread has set in the west, the registration thread is high in the sky, and so it is time for the jail/gaol thread to rise in the east. Your lucky numbers are 11 and 24.

It’s been a while since we bleated about live music venues, though. And about the humans rights aspect of the gaol.

And in case you think this is a recent debate, the OED offers this gem:

1668 R. L’ESTRANGE Vis. Quev. (1708) 6 Some again are..boring their very Noses with hot Irons, in rage that they cannot come to a Resolution, whether they shall say Face or Visage; whether they shall say Jayl or Gaol; whether Cony or Cunny.

Oh look. The cyclist thread has set in the west, the registration thread is high in the sky, and so it is time for the jail/gaol thread to rise in the east. Your lucky numbers are 11 and 24.

It’s been spelled gayhol, gayll, gaille, gayole, gayl, gaile, gaiell, gaill, gaole, goale, goal, and gaol. It’s also been spelled iaiole, iaile, iayle, iayll, iaole, jayl, jale, and jail. All of these spellings have been used by the inhabitants of the British isles since the 13th and 14th centuries, before anybody without a Viking helmet had even heard of North America.

The difference has SFA to do with ‘British’ or ‘American’ English, much as this will pain those of you with the southern cross tattooed on your c.cks and who think nothing makes you a good Strayin like kicking Yanks. It’s a bloody French word, and the difference arised from differences in Northern or Norman French and that spoken in the south (Parisian French). The Norman ended up with a ‘G’, the Parisian with a ‘J’, and it’s the Parisian variant that survives today, with the ‘G’ version deemed ‘archaic’ and surviving only through statutory and official tradition.

So sayeth the OED. Suck it up.

aha ha ha ha….I am soooo using that….

The annoying thing is they’ll be making a vast fortune off the google ads on that page with something anyone *could* have done, if only they’d thought of it.

Note: “jail” is spelt J-A-I-L, not “gaol” which is pronounced “gay-oll”.

note…..http://piv.pivpiv.dk/

Jail is the only american spelling I will use. The pronounciation does not work correcrly with the spelling “gaol”, therefore I do not use it.

Anyway I’m surprised the verdict of this case has been released, it doesn’t do well for ensuring the main murder case is not prejudiced by the guilty plea and verdict.
