Phonetics

Without using the technical phonetic alphabet, (because most visitors wont be able to read that) - we need to offer a transliteration of 'Shroggle'. Here are a few ideas...
Our main concern is that it has to sound the way we want it to, when read by any English speaker, whether US or UK, SA, Auzi or Canadian.... turns out to be quite a challenge.

[sh-rog-gl]
[shr-uh-g"gl]
[shr-gl]

Shroggle has a soft 'o' and a soft 'g'...

At the moment I'm thinking we might have to supplement with an audio file.
