| It's JIGAwatt -- not GIGAwatt... So, in the words of Capt James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise, "double-dumba$$ on you!" |

| Amazing. | ||||||
| It's supposed to be GIGAwatt but no one making that movie knew the correct way to pronounce it. | ||||||
| Awesome, I love it. BTW, Space-G, you are the dumba$$. It is gigawatt. Get a fricking dictionary & check next time instead of making a fool of yourself. | ||||||
| Why isn't it Jiggawatt?!! | ||||||
| gigawatt is pronounced 'jigawatt' if 'jigawatt' is correct then everyone in the world says gigabyte WRONG | ||||||
| Wikipedia says: There are two accepted pronunciations for the prefix giga-: [ˈgɪgə] and [ˈdʒɪgə]. The former is more common than the latter. | ||||||

| I was searching the web for this scene and found this lovely ytmnd. | ||||||
| Or 1x10^9 joules per second. Or 1x10^9 newtons times meters per second... | ||||||
| Remember the movie was made in the 80's... the pronunciation "jigga-" for "giga-" was more common then. Also, the guy who wrote the book or the screenplay (I forgot which) got the word from a real scientist's lecture... | ||||||
| Wait, book? What was I thinking? | ||||||
| um...it's Jigga-WHAT... >:( | ||||||
| Lol, classic YTMND. | ||||||
| wth is a Jigga Waaaaaaaaa... | ||||||
| Yes the correct way to pronounce Gigawatt and Gigabyte is actually Jiggawatt and Jigabyte, but nobody says that. | ||||||
