So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

According to Wikipedia (http://goo.gl/QFI7nO) the NIST decided to pronounce giga- with a soft G in the 1960s, but otherwise there's no historical precedent.

Self was unable to ascertain at what point the alternative pronunciation came into occasional use, but claimed that as of 1995 it had died out"
So I think I (and the other 80+% of English speakers) will just keep on pronouncing it with the hard G and give strange looks to anyone who isn't Doc Brown that pronounces it with a soft G. ;-)
