January 17, 200620 yr I'd pronounce it something like rout, ou like in the world "hour". Anyways I have my hot accent and way to pronounce, so don't rely on my tips :P I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm
January 17, 200620 yr route can be defined as a noun or verb.. i pronouce it as "root" as noun term.. like "that's the shortest route" and pronouced as "ru-out" as verb "pls route the assignment to me" just a simple example.. hope it helps..
January 17, 200620 yr Its "root". word - pronunciation according to wikipedia root - rÃÆââ¬Â¦Ãâët route - rÃÆââ¬Â¦Ãâët See its the same :D Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

January 17, 200620 yr Root, rowte.. potato, potahto. Same thing. :? ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
January 17, 200620 yr I always say "Root" when I need to use a word. Though I thought of Rowt as well when I opened this topic. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
January 17, 200620 yr I actually use different in different context. If it says "Take Route 65 down to the bayoo" (as it often does) I say Rowte. If I was just talking regularly about taking a different direction, I'd probably say root.
January 17, 200620 yr Root. God damn it, we adapted this language from Latin and French we get to pick how it's pronounced :x This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
January 17, 200620 yr Root. I have never heard an English person say otherwise. As has been said, we have taken words from another language so it is not our place to change them. In contrast, I will pronounce router the network device as rooter, but router the woodworking tool rowter. This is because it is used to rout (hollow out) wood, rather than route traffic. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
January 17, 200620 yr Root, rowte.. potato, potahto. Same thing. :? You know, recently I've wondered about. We all grow up saying "tomato - tomahto" or "potato potahto." But who REALLY says the latter of those?
January 17, 200620 yr It depends where you're from... I went to a school last year with alot of Canadians and Americans and the biggest difference was in the word decal. Americans pronounced it deek-al. *Most* Canadians pronounced it deckle. I say root.

In contrast, I will pronounce router the network device as rooter, but router the woodworking tool rowter. This is because it is used to rout (hollow out) wood, rather than route traffic. Exactly what I was going to say, It's pronounced "root" unless you are talking about the word "rout" Ghost Ranger: Everyone here pronounce tomato "tom-ah-toe". The only time I've heard it "tom-a-toe" is when Americans are talking. Although I've never heard anyone say "potahto".

January 17, 200620 yr To this British person, Canada is in America and a Canadian accent is an American one. To us the accents sound very very similar. Just as you might not be able to tell the difference between a Lancashire and a Yorkshire accent, or a Glasgow accent and an Edinburgh one. Though of course there's some obvious ones like scousers in England and New Yorkers in the USA. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
January 17, 200620 yr ^ I'm pretty good with accents. I can definately tell Lancs from Yorks, that's obvious, and I think Glaswegian from Edinburgh. New Zealand and Australian is a toughie, but thanks to Max Hoyland from Neighbours (who's a Kiwi) I've learnt the slight difference :D Canadian/American is easy. You just have to listen out for the "eh!"s and the "aboot"s :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
January 17, 200620 yr WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NEWZEALANDER AND AN AUSSIE!?!!?!?!?! Srry for the caps but i will not have australians be thought of as sheep lovers(- because of censor). Canadians you can tell from americans from the word about or in canada aboot (blame southpark for that) Englanders all sound the same to me (spare'us a coin, guvna)

January 17, 200620 yr We don't say aboot :P that's just a bad stereotype. However, we *do* say 'eh'... alot.
January 17, 200620 yr We don't say aboot :P that's just a bad stereotype. However, we *do* say 'eh'... alot. Hehe, aw way to take the fun out of it :P For the record, Scousers do say "Mate - Eee-Arr - Lad - Wharyaulukina'? - Sooound - Safe - Kidda". Not this one (often ^_^), but some do! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
January 17, 200620 yr We don't say aboot :P that's just a bad stereotype. However, we *do* say 'eh'... alot. I don't get that 'eh'. Lots of people here in Britain say it too, but we don't get stereotyped with it. For me there is a big difference between Glaswegian and an Edinburgh accent. That's kinda like saying cockney sounds like Geordie or Liverpudlian :P I think I could probably tell the difference between Lancs and Yorks. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between New Zealand & Aussie accents though since I don't listen to New Zealand people a lot.
