Brits pronounce router as “rooter”. Maybe they spelled it like they heard it. Not sure.

- samatman 4y agoIt's interesting to me that the American dialect pronounces route like rout, but never in the phrase en route, which is common enough that I've seen it frequently spelled "on route" by people who don't know not to.

- bombcar 4y agoWe steal words from every language, and sometimes we steal the pronunciation, too.
