It forces the correct cadence as opposed to boot edge edge

Budda may be pronounced bud ah if you type just that

I have seen boo-dah jedge used as well

Until now The interviewer would say it and he would say “close enough”

But yes I agree exactly with your post about the pronunciation

closest I can come is buddha jedge, my wife convinced me to type it like that, as opposed to buddha jidge

I think we all are pretty close, and certainly miles beyond a noobie trying to say it with no help

I do like the women's shirt, we ordered two
