(...) Why? If it were spelt 'kluge', as in 'luge', I would agreed, but as it is spelt 'kludge', I think that it should be pronounced as per 'fudge', 'sludge' etc. Martin (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That depends on whether you're the hacker implementing the kludge or the manager tolerating it. Actually, "hack" might be closer (at least within certain circles) in meaning than "kludge". --Bill. (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
