Dear Miss Manners;

I tend to spell it with two "g"s, a la "Gogger". Am I violating some unwritten etiquette?

But don't you run into etymological difficulties with that? For if your classic game about frogs is Frogger, then surely you will find that you need to follow the same format for the double G in Gogger?

An an aside, any day when I get to use "etymological" in a sentence can be wholly bad. :P

That should be can't, but my typing skills get worse and worse the closer it gets to midnight. Once we're past 11.30 or local time, I pretty much just mush my face against the keyboard and then hit "submit" eventually.

My prehensile eyebrows were of particular interest to the interviewing team. ;)
It really is more morphology than etymology, yes. I guess my question is, given how English treats a glottal stop after an open vowel, wouldn't Goger tend to be pronounced like "Kroger" or "doge"--that is, with a soft "g"--rather than with the hard glottal stop that we'd assume is customary, from GOG?

I guess it comes down to: has GOG gone far enough on its way to world domination that we can assume that GOG no longer stands for anything as an acronym, but is merely a monolithic presence? Is it, like a laser, an acronym whose acronymity has transcended into a unique word of its own, or do we treat it, still, as a linguistic shorthand?

...I suspect I'm putting way too much thought into this.
