Let's try the logical approach - shall we?

First, let's look at the "Moog Rogue"  Why would he name it that if it didn't
have the nice rhyme?

Also, Bob HIMSELF has said that it's pronounced "Moh-g".  If that's how he
pronounces it, then that's correct, case closed.  What's so tough about that?

Hey - after all he's given us, the least we can do is get the guy's name
right...  ;-)
