No
, the spelling
is
correct.
It had always been pronounced "jih-gah" (as in the movie), but sometime in the 90s - probably coinciding with the advent of gigabyte [GB] memory and storage - the popular pronunciation became "gih-gah".

No, PJ. You're wrong. The correct pronunciation is "Gambolputty".
