ok, whats the correct term:

gills or grills?

i can understand why the dual usage but just curious as to what is the correct term.
Neither, they're actually called side vents.

Should be gills as they're similar to gills on a fish.

Gills was the old school term for the vents when they were vertical. (Fish-like) Like these seen on the coupe:



Now they are just "Side vents" or "Side Grills"
