Or being dyslexic and was allowed to skip Shakespeare and traditional English in favour of business/functional English.

In terms of jail that ship has long sailed.

It s an Irish spelling of the word ....

Not having a go mate, just pointing out the American influence. I remember having a spelling test in primary school 40 odd years ago and they asked us to spell it, and 99% spelt it jail.

Please don’t think I was taking offence. I wasn’t at all. I asked the question as I was genuinely curious as I had only seen it spelt as Jail.

In 46 years I have never seen it spelt that way.

Its use has declined markedly in society since the 1930s, and it's rarer still to see the participle gaoled or the noun gaoler. Even in Parliament, its appearance in Hansard has dropped significantly, albeit only since around 2005.

Back or Ukraine. So Putin says no more massive strikes on Ukraine for now. I guess someone told him they have no missiles left!!

It's not, there's no letter 'j' in the Irish alphabet. No J, no K, no Y.
