minus-squareWhats_your_reasoning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI live in the US. For me a computer router is pronounced with an “ow” sound. Like if a Brit were “having a row” with someone, but with -ter at the end. However, highway “routes” can be pronounced with that same vowel, or as “root” like a plant root.

minus-squarelightnsfw@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month ago Are these all “owt” in the US? Yes. But I have heard people pronounce route as “root” before.

Kiwis pronounce it correctly

Where do you stand on the woodworking tool, a direction and a complete loss in a sport/battle?
e.g. in UK
Router
Woodworking: outer is pronounced outer
Computer: outer is pronounced ooter
Route
Direction: oute is pronounced oot
Rout
Complete loss in sport/battle: out is pronounced out
Are these all “owt” in the US?
The only one of those that is possibly “oot” is route as in directions, in standard American English
Agreed
In the US, all are “out” but route can be out or oot depending on your mood
Yes. But I have heard people pronounce route as “root” before.
