As in giraffe or generator or genocide. Every thing else, and it's "ga" as in gap or go or gone.

I believe that you are incorrect, as the examples given by other members demonstrate.

Although this is a general "rule", I am under the understanding that the pronunciation is dependent on whether the word is of Latinate or Germanic origin.

(Note that this neatly sidesteps the fact that "Gixxer" is hard to fit into either of these categories...that is an argument for the rest of you!

I prefur 'Ninja'

**SPORK** · 26th June 2006, 20:10

That's odd, I prefer 'Ninja'

**imdying** · 26th June 2006, 20:13

Does the poll suggest that someone might try to pronounce it GICK SIR ?

Surely not...

**onearmedbandit** · 26th June 2006, 22:38

I've never heard 29 people in my life call it 'Gick sir', let alone believe for a minute there are at least that number of people here who do pronounce it that way.

I do believe you are all taking the piss.
