SILL BRUSH >:(

According to both Oxford and Cambridge online dictionaries, it is sill.
-
I've always known it to be 'sills', but any canal enthusiast will tell you that the concrete base of a lock gate is a 'cill' - same type of thing, different spelling.
-
I have a cilver bracelet.
-
many years ago when working with a window company it was spelt................CILL
Maybe it was an american way
A bit like the Plumb Center!!!!
-
I reckon this whole thread is cilly.
-
As a joiner and lecturer (in joinery) I can say it is Cill.
The Sill bit is American, came in about 60 years ago.
But we (for the most part) are in England, so it's: Cill.
-
Don't be so cilly.

As joiner and lecturer:
You have never taught English, it is sill and sill is not American at all. In many other countries also making the use of English it would be called a window ledge. My God call yourself English and cannot even speak or spell your own language. The well spoken American will have a high command of the English language contrary to what we might believe here.

Foolish comment, Smithie; and where is the punctuation point after "My God"? Also, after "lecturer" it should be a semi-colon. The whole post should be revised for grammar too.
British English - can be cill or sill.
American English - sill.
I believe that the earliest use of the word predates the Norman conquest with "sylle" - this became "sill" but in the 1800's "cill" began to appear as an alternative - now both are acceptable but by far the most used, especially since Worldwide (i.e. non-British) English has gained in popularity is sill.
Bit like Waggon or Wagon - both acceptable.

Just 'using English' would have sufficed instead of the overly elaborate language...
-
There should be a comma after the word, 'just'.
