    The word came into English in two forms, jaiole from Old French and gayole from Anglo-Norman French gaole (surviving in the spelling gaol), originally pronounced with a hard g, as in goat.

    So its not a Yank word at all, its a frog word DAM FROGS!!!!

    I am well aware of the etymological provenance. Regardless of origination, in the 19th century, England used 'gaol', and America 'Jail'. Since the end of WWII, 'jail' has slowly started to overtake 'gaol' in usage in England, largely due to its popularity in America, like lots of words/sounds (e.g. see pronunciation of route, spelling of colour, etc.). Now both spellings (gaol/jail) are used in England but 'gaol' is now considered archaic, largely due to the rampant Americanism of our language. Admittedly, some changes to our language are fine -- what does not change stagnates and dies! -- but I prefer 'gaol' as its a nicer looking word. Besides, it's an anagram of GOAL! Personal preference, really. :grin:<ok>

    It might be cheaper to buy a plane rather than keep renting them out...
