I always thought it was pronounced "SUH-gee".

EVERYBODY DOES!!!!!   >:(

Well, after all, only one English word (and its derivatives) pronounces -udg- with an -oo- sound, the word is only 50 years old, and some people regard it as a misspelling with a d that shouldn't be there.  Meanwhile, English words with an -ooj- sound invariably contain -ug- without the d.

So... yeah.  The orthography of sudgy is such that it ought to rhyme with pudgy, fudgy, and budgie.

What word has -udg- as an -oo- sound?  Perhaps I need to go to bed because I am having trouble even thinking of an English word with an -ooj- sound regardless of spelling...

It is not a common word outside hackerspace, engineering, and the military.  A free +1 to the first person who knows it.

I was just using my program to help me read Japanese, and I just read "すじ" which is spelled in English as "suji" (have no idea what that actually means in Japanese yet) which is pronounced "soojee" just like my username...

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1E

Also, greatest website ever for Japanese study.

Also also, it isn't "soojee" actually.  The "su" is short, so it's more like the "su" in suit + the letter G.  If you want soojee, you'd go with: すうじ

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1F

I've always imagined the "oo" being short.  I always say it as "oo" because some people, when they think of "u", think of the upside down e (I don't know how to type that).  Also, the links don't work for me...

Google wwwjdic and you'll find it.  You can search in Japanese, romanized or not.

Damn, I miss learning Japanese. Maybe I should take a class again. It was fun.

Though, the anal-retentive part of me had issues with just how fluid sentence structure was.

I suggest not learning Finnish. We don't have a sentence structure.

I'm intrigued now. I was thinking of taking a course in Russian, but now this looks interesting.

Though, who am I fooling? My hobbies don't allow me to have time to take a class, which is too bad, because I've considered getting my Masters, but I'd have to put much of my life on pause during that time.

The word in question is "kludge."  Many instead spell it "kluge," and quite a few people think the form with the d ought to rhyme with fudge.

Actually, thinking about it, it sounds fine with a short "u" and a long "u"...  Edit, I think I prefer the short "u" better.

Oh, OK.  I feel better now, both because I hadn't seen that one before and because I learned a new word.

Radnom Thought:

Does Donald not like us anymore?
Or had he felt he had passed on everything he needed to teach us and moved on, a bit like a wise old karate master....or possibly the Littlest Hobo.

Right before he started being quiet he sounded kind of annoyed with some of the drama around isotropic closing and then posted in the interview thread basically to say he wasn't planning on checking it any time soon.

I'm sure he'll be around again once Guilds comes out to deal with rules questions and do a secret history.
