    Go-doh. Pretty sure this is the official spelling.

    Guh-doh, but on occasion Go-dot for no reason at all.

      Yes! I know that it’s pronounced Guh-doh / Go-Doh but I always call it Go-Dot like in “.com”

      How much confusion can you put in 5 characters?

    Before Godot Engine I knew the word from the play Waiting for Godot. I’ve always heard that pronounced guh-doh, silent T. So I just went with that.

    Go-doh. The French pronunciation. 👀 From “En attendant Godot”. Hearing it pronounced “Go-dot” annoys me as much as hearing someone say “jif” instead of “gif”. 😂

    Lol good question, I swear I’ve heard people say it about five different ways.

    I’ve been going with “ge-dough” but that’s useless because we all have different accents and read these explanations with different pronunciations as well 😂

    Make the guh sound like you are teaching a kid the g sound followed by a Homer Simpson yell of Doh!. Extra points for using Homer’s volume and inflection every time you say it.

    GO-DOT
