  • Why do you care?
  • I think american spelling on jail is the correct one, its pronounced with a j not G, its not a Gaol, where does the Gay come from, the yanks have it right on this one sorry Yobz, poms have it wrong.

    We dont call Jimmy's Gimmy's, why call Jails Gaols?

    • George, Geronimo, Giant ...
  • It's derived from colonial English - not American. Melbourne Gaol, Maitland Gaol, Dubbo Gaol, etc

    • Poms have plenty of their language very stupidly written, just because the poms said its the way to do things doesnt mean its right although they expect everybody to take it as fact.

  • Went to a Ramp there in 91....cold prick of a place in winter......
  • As I used to work there until it closed, I think I have some authority on the matter. The correct spelling in Australia is Gaol. As GeeBeeYou said, it's an English derivative.
  • Gaol is english therefore Australian spelling. Jail is american spelling therefore not english.
  • Bout time someone got this right , just like Guernsey it's Gaol .
  • Actually these days the australian offical spelling acdepll
