I say Hew-ge and not U-ge


Hewge is correct. Damyankees think it starts with a "u" sound, but they are damyankees.

U-ge for huge is common for Mid-City NOLA folks to say.

It's more of an accent affect than a mispronunciation.

If everyone in a linguistic group pronounces the same word the same way then it is not the individual's fault.

I hear and read people swing and miss on the subtle differences between "passed", "pass" and "past". Chalmations especially have a problem with it.
