Yeah, he did and no that's not a Flux-Capicitor on his desk. Technically he's correct it's still spelled gigawatts, but phonetically sounds jigawatts an alternate pronunciation is gigawatts. The multiple pronunciations for the words 'data & hierarchical' also bug me because different professors would pronounce them differently. I hate when the English dept. meets science class.
