I don't know where you heard the other pronunciations, but they are wrong and very rare. I have never heard any other pronunciation of "kludge" than the one that rhymes with "stooge". That's why I prefer the slightly less-common spelling "kluge". It's a new enough word that both spellings are currently acceptable, and if enough of us do this, maybe we can affect which spelling wins out in the end. -- Doug Landauer
