    I would always spell it ‘jilted’. I think it’s one of those very obscure English pronunciation things based on letter relationships in the many languages of which English is composed. For backup I’ll suggest the same thing is happening in ‘jink’ and ‘junk’. Whereas a different sound comes from ‘guilt’ and ‘gate’.

      I was just trying to make a point that not everything is necessarily politically motivated. Although, it seems highly likely. I suppose I could have did without the sarcastic “unrelated” part.
