How do you pronounce GB?

[scofo76]

I say Giga-byte too, i've never heard any of the two choices being used either.

[ShadowPHP]

As far as I know, giga is pronounced "jiga", but I say "giga".

You say, "as far as you know", go to any dictionary and you will see the pronunciation is g?ga: g?gga, with the emphasis on the ?i? there is absolutely no reference to jiga at all!!

[Colin-uk Veteran]

[leesmithg]

I pronounce it Great Britain or GB!

If we are talking about a mass unit, then Gigabyte.

For the pronontion Jega Byte is very simple :laugh: not Jiga or Giga :woot:

You should have a neither of them in your poll as I doubt anyone would pronounce them the way you've written them.

Yes man, Gega (i thought its official way) so just for G pronontion

I can't edit the poll to put Gig a bit (or Giga Byte) :(

Gig a bite, and I have never heard anyone ever call it either of the above choices

[Echilon]

Looks like you're both unique and the kind of person who'd try to plug a pair of headphones into a toaster ;)

yea..i never heard of anyone pronouncing it as jega byte lol

[killmaster84]

Never heard of the jega byte. so Giga byte

[stereopixels]

I'm surprised so many have voted bearing in mind 'gigabyte' isn't even on the poll.

[Purple Haze]

Only jigga is Jay-Z. Jiga, jega, jenga have nothing to do with PCs and aren't even words :p

[spavacer]

[john johnson]

[metallithrax]

I say gigabyte, but this dictionary doesn't.

[Tux]
