i have always pronounced this word gee-uh-teen , yet most others pronounce it gil-uh-teen. i come from a family that has always focused strongly on proper linguistic skills and have been many many many times complimented for my extroardinary vocabulary, which was at a college level by 6th grade. when i researched this online (dictionary.com was my source) i got two pronounciation keys, saying both of us are right. yet it was confusing. could you explain? incidintily the double L makes y sound in most latin based languages , perticularly romance languages, indicating that i am correct.
