whose the president in 1985?

Ronald Reagan.

HA! Whose the vice president.... JERRY LEWIS?!

[Taffynation]

Yes, as long as I have uranium, a flux capacitor, and a powerful engine. Also, you're car will only need to hit about 78 mph because BMW's can generate more power than a DeLorean.

God speed, megadriver6!

[FeverSwampHL]

jigewats is the actual pronunciation. He said it correctly.

[Andy Androz]

He's a nutty professor, if he wants to pronounce gigawatt as jigawatt, then that's keeping in character anyway...still it's hysterical anyway.

"One point twenty-one jigawatts"

Why would you say that? Especially trying to sound like a scientist, why would you say that?

"One point two-one gigawatts" is what a scientist would say, regardless of where they're from.

You wouldn't call 23.77802 "twenty-three point seventy-seven thousand, eight hundred and two", you'd call it "twenty-three point seven seven eight zero two".

Under Doc's naming convention should I call 1.2 "one point two hundred billion" if it's 13 significant figures accuracy?

[Time Lord]

You're a possibly pedophilic individual

Who should have never been born

You got your knickers in a twist

While you're sucking on my Piccadilly

But I'm a lot lot different

Cause you're a pitiful hillbilly

Hanging with an oedipal kid

Who's a bawk bawk chicken

[LamonicBomb]

1.21 gigawatt = 1210000000 volt ampere.

For those who were curious LOL

[magicfire22]

Actually in some accents gigawatt is pronounced Jigawatt. One of my college engineering professors pronounces it that way.
