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 :-] Tony.
