   Perhaps a better way to tell a wizard is from the way he/she pronounces
   "gigabyte." If a person pronounces it with a *soft* "g" (as in gigantic)
   that person knows what he/she's talking about.

   Every dictionary in the universe says that a soft g is preferred/correct.

Except the Oxford, which says that not only may the g be soft or hard,
but the 'i' may be either as in 'bite' or as in 'bit'.  I love people
making REALLY exorbitant claims :-]
