Jigo- or Giga-?
I know there are a million threads about this, but they're mostly about whether the correct spelling is "jigowatt" or "gigawatt" in real life or which one of the two is the correct pronunciation in real life. What I want to know is, in the Back to the Future Universe, which is the correct spelling of Doc's phrase "1.21 ____watts"? If you search for BTTF.com on Google, the search entry for it says "Back to the Future™ - BTTF.com | Your Daily Jolt of 1.21 Jigowatts!", but in the "Quotes" section of the IMDb.com Back to the Future entry, Doc's quote is written as "...the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning!" So, what's the correct BTTF Universe spelling of the word?
