I was winding myself up for a Doh! this morning - but I find I'm wrong, other Doh! Two women were on the radio this morning talking about Free Schools, and one spoke about trainee teachers learning the skills of Pedagogy - prouncing it Peddagojjy. I always thought it is Peddagoggy - coming from Pedagogue (which is definitely gogg). Hey ho, I have learned something this morning, years of mispronunciation, must do better ;-)

Just because she was speaking on the wireless doesn't mean she was right.

It is word that appears to be missing from my vocabulary. It sounds like a village in Wales.

I would have said gogg too, thanks for the tip though I'm not sure when it will next come up in conversation ;-)

It's definitely pronounced "Peddagojjy"
