Gianormites of the World Unite!

Gianormous has made it into the dictionary! Except the dictioneers (who else compiles dictionaries?) misspelled it! Everyone knows it's giant-enormous, not gigantic-enormous. Their spelling (ginormous) looks like "djinn-or-mus". Blech!

So everyone needs to start using gianormous. Then the dictioneers can get it right next edition.

I always thought of it with the etymology they give - gigantic + enormous. Spelling it with an 'a' seems weird.

Surely, you agree it looks like a soft "i"?

Don't let the dictioneers win!
