I would like to encourage my fellow Americans to pronounce DOGE correctly (bear with me)... [View all]

[JHB]

The initial "E" of "Efficiency is not silent. Depending on how you pronounce the word, you use either a hard "e" (as in "cheat" ) or soft "e" (as in "meh" ). Therefore, in the abbreviation, it should be pronounced.

Likewise, the "G" stands for "Government", so it should be a hard "g".

So it shouldn't be pronounced like the abbreviation for the Department of Justice turned into a word (doj).

Clearly, the proper pronunciation of DOGE is DOG-E or DOG-eh.

Put a pause in there before the E, because we don't want it confused with "doggie". Doggies are good boys, and everyone associated with DOG-E is pretty much the opposite of good boys.

Thank you for your time and forbearance.
