: Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition and courtesy of

Serves me right for trusting my spell checker over common sense. I knew it was gators, but I probably accidentally typed gaitors. Strange that a spell checker woulnd't even suggest gators as a possibility. Try it - even MS Word gives you 'gaiters'. Obviously most of us would use 'gaiters' more often than 'gators', wouldn't we? Oh well . . .
