I'll tell you something stranger - Fridge is an abbreviation of Refrigerator and yet there's an extra D in it. What's that all about?
Probably because “frige” looks stupid and “frig” means something else entirely!!

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com




And realistically, because you need the d to make the “j” sound in the word I guess, “frige” would be pronounced “fry-g” (magic “E”!!).
