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

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.

Wikipedia says: There are two accepted pronunciations for the prefix giga-: [ˈgɪgə] and [ˈdʒɪgə]. The former is more common than the latter.

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...

Yes the correct way to pronounce Gigawatt and Gigabyte is actually Jiggawatt and Jigabyte, but nobody says that.
