Usage notes edit
The conjugation gills/gilldes/gillts, while not in SAOL, is common in practice, including in the media. "Gills" is mentioned in SO. "Det gillas inte" is likely to be interpreted either as "it isn't liked" or (less likely) as "it isn't valid" by many native speakers (where the latter interpretation is much more formal-sounding compared to "it doesn't count," hinging on a somewhat dated sense of gilla).
