It has to do with the the older versions of English. For example, back in the 16- and 1700 (possibly into the 1800s as well) the English "S" looked like an "F".

It is almost never capitalized.  Others have said "judicial branch" should be capitalized, but that is not normally true.  "Judicial" is normally capitalized only when it forms a proper noun in a phrase like "Board of Judicial Review".

I think "jail" is the American spelling. A lot of the American dictionary writers in the 18th century wanted to create an American spelling system that better reflected its pronunciation. This is why a lot of American spellings differ from British spellings. Some people/places just develop preference for one or the other, as they seemed to with "jail".

It all started many, many years ago before America was even a country... The discrepancies can be traced back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when a King or Queen's usage of language was considered to be ideal - and was used as a model. The way words were spoken would constantly change through the years, and eventually we derived our our current speech patterns from these royals (we still change the way words are spoken even today - think about all the different accents around the country, and how words get warped by them). So, techinically - there's not really a good reason why the plural of house is not hice... somebody just decided that was the way they wanted to say it - so that's the way it came out. If it bugs you that much, just start calling them hice... You never know - one day it may stick.
