The word kludge(?), as used around here is pronounced to rhyme with 'fudge'. It is my opinion that this is incorrect, as I learned it as 'kluge', rhymes with stooge, and the origin is definitely german. If some older-time hackers correct me, I might accept their judgement. (I've only known the word since 1976.) The original german has a hard 'g', and is pronounced kloog. Robert Herndon
