As is gaol

[Cthulhu_]

I did some googling and it turns out "gaol" was indeed the more popular spelling, but only up until 1960 when "jail" took over; numbers: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=gaol%2Cjail&ye...

As a life long englishman, this thread is the first time i've encounterd "gaol" as a word. Not an english spelling.

Brit here. Nobody here says "gaol" in normal speech or writing. Usually "prison", sometimes "jail".

[technothrasher]

I see gaol a lot here in New England historic places. There are plenty of old crumbling "town gaols" and such.

Which dictionary are you using that doesn’t mark it as an archaic form in British English?
