LOLZ.. I can't just stop laughing, after trying to pronounce all those different spelling and sound people pronounce DOGE as written above, I must say that this thread made my morning. 

The fact is that English is most people second language and when they see some spellings, they pronounce them based on how their senses tells them it is. This is why whatever strange word I come across, I try to make sure that I get the right pronunciation.
