I'm down to the last 22k on the first edit. I'm a little cross-eyed but generally feeling positive.
Was combing through Chapter 11 when I chanced across the word 'jail' and wondered, idly, as one does, which might be the most in-keeping of the two spellings: jail, or gaol.
As I do on a regular basis, I turned to my trusty fallback: Etymology Online, usually a fairly high-brow and informative tool for checking the origins of words.
However, on typing in 'gaol,' I got this:
see jail, you tea-sodden football hooligan.
I sense this may be a tetchy subject for its editor.
Ha! :)
