    Sadly, Australia adopted the stupid 'Murican way of saying the word

    Kiwis pronounce it correctly

      I 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.

        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

          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.

          It’s even worse. In the US Route is pronounced differently depending on part of speech.

            They are two different words, the verb is just pronounced differently from the noun.

        “root”

        It’s a French word, and they don’t say “rowt”

            especially in places that have no “language” then people with many languages come together and adopt one.
