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?

I've always said go-DOH, personally.

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. ๐Ÿ‘€ From "En attendant Godot". Hearing it pronounced "Go-dot" annoys me as much as hearing someone say "jif" instead of "gif". ๐Ÿ˜‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Ategon I always thought it was go-dot

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.

@Ategon the GO from "ago" plus the DOT from email dot com with a hard T at the end.

GO-DOT

Go-dough or guh-dough depending on how lazy I feel at the time.
