ShadowPHP Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 As far as I know, giga is pronounced "jiga", but I say "giga". 586608433[/snapback] Doc Brown made the same mistake with Gigawatt (He said Jigawatt) ^^ Maybe i made a typo, i dunno.

Farstrider Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 As far as I know, giga is pronounced "jiga", but I say "giga". 586608433[/snapback] 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!!
