使用する際の注意点

In British English, gaol was the more common published spelling between approximately 1730 and 1960,^[1] and is still preferred in proper names in some regions. Most Australian newspapers use jail, citing either narrower print width or the possibility of transposing letters in gaol to produce goal.^[2] By far the most common spelling in Canada is jail, but a handful of legal writers use gaol; see for example [2], para. 26.
