Gemini Cricket

Gemini really IS supposed to be pronounced Jimminy.

That's the proper Greek pronunciation.

It's not Jim-In-Eye.

I was twitching every time I heard Amy Shira Teitel saying it and thinking she got it wrong and it turns out that she had it right.  And she was just saying it the same way that NASA had been saying it since the beginning of the program.

    I always thought that "G" in Latin and Greek was always a hard "G."
