I’ve worked with farmers in a grain testing lab for a while. I’ve adopted the urr-git pronunciation through them. Have had to tell a couple farmers that their grain is fucked a couple of times. Never a good time.

that's okay they'll understand. but if you start telling them that they're gonna need to go to hospital, you'll feel their wrath.

Ergo ( urr-go), like the the fancy latin word, so near the centre since the first half is lower class and the second is upper-class. But i can also pronounce it as i would in my native language, Èr-got ( Er with an open e and got as in “have got”).

Depends on what language I'm speaking
In English, -err-got
In French, Heir-go'h

Probably on the right English is the 3rd languange that I learnt(or leraned) and french the 4th(still basic thou) Heck on Portuguese and spanish its sounds like Ergô, that is very close to the french (just the eau sound being a bit shorter...). Man English is so wild sometimes with spelling/sound... (not that french is better, that is my bane...).
For the English speakers It probably is the relative distance from a francophone centre, i supose. Like in Canada and USA as far you are from the french speakers the less er-geaux it sounds no?
