Huh, TIL. As a non-native English speaker, I have always pronounced "route" as "raowt", probably influenced by the pronunciation of "router". Btw, why is it "pronUnciation", but "pronOUced". English is hard.

  A quick Google didn't supply any supporting evidence. Do you know of a reference?

    That that's how it's pronounced in Australia? I don't know of any specific reference, it's just what I know from being familiar with Australian pronounciation (it's where I was born and live). BTW, in case there has been some confusion here, since the topic was how things were said, I have been assuming this is what the person I was replying to was talking about, not spelling.

      Ah thanks, I thought you were saying it was spelled with "ou".
