I'm not sure this discussion belongs in the ASCII Art forum, but since it is here, I will add my two cents... I read a posting where someone suggested that pronounciation rules would favor the 'j' sound over the 'g' if the 'g' is followed by an 'i'. For statistics sake, I looked up 44 distinctly different words that begin with 'gi'. 23 of them have a 'g' sound, 20 of them have the 'j', and 1 has a 'h' sound (Gila monster). That would tend to support the 'g' prefix... Danny
..just remember: as my statistics professor explained, statistics are like a woman's string bikini. What is revealed is interesting; but what is CONCEALED is vital! Daniel Schwartz --
