Giga would not be "Jiga". It derives from greek gigas, giant. Which would have been spelt with a gamma. There is no J sound in ancient greek.

Your point on the rest is well-taken. Regional diffeences in language such as color/colour, spelled/spelt are not signs of being wrong or stupid.

Journal Journal: Moderating Overload?

(Mon Apr 4) So, hey, why am I suddenly getting moderator points every few days? I moderated Friday, now again on Monday?!
