[ARC5] Kludge - an honest definition

[Henry Mei'l's]

Oh really? Maybe people in the US are also saying 'joodge' for judge these 
days ? I had a Danish girl friend who grew up in Ireland, and she (and most 
other Irish I knew) would say things like 'boodge' for budge and 'goood' for 
good -- maybe it's contagious <\;0). What about clutch,  touch and much - 
I'd hate to think it's 'mooch,' now-a-days-  but there is a linguistic 
phenomenan known as vowel shift (not to be confused with 'bowel shxt'). 
Better stop here!
I'll take your word for it Ian - cause your over there and I'm over  here 
(right in front of my keyboard, writing QRN).

73 de Henry
