As I 'hard G' man, all I can say is, reason this! :-)
I respect the right of a creator to name her creation, and I recognize that we tread
new ground all the time. I would like to point out that one of the sometimes nasty
vagaries of the English language is that eventually usage trumps rules and
specifications. From what I've seen so far on the list, the hard G is more widely
used, "which is all I need to know..." <G>
