The right and only way "ROOT-ER"

I really struggle on my job when talking to my American colleagues I have to switch the pronounciation to make them understand me.

i used to say this until my friend laughed at me for not saying rowter :(

>US version: Rowder
God damn, make a 't' sound.

Is rooter the not-murica way and router the Murica way?

>Root-er
That's what she said last night.

Btw that's the correct spelling.
>router
>the thing that routes traffic
>to route

Rhymes with pic related.

>that voice at the end

did he died?

"roo-ter". I'm spic.

It's r-OUT-er.

Loud is not pronounced "lood"
Out is not pronounced "oot"
Round is not pronounced "roond"

Ou makes the "ow" sound. Not "oo".

>Ou makes the "ow" sound. Not "oo".

Counterpoint: "you".

What about Route? Like Route 66

shit nigga it's 2016

it's illegal to own people like that

English is not as simple as that.

Britbongs say rooter because they're fucking dumb.

I pronounce it "gif-aluminium".

Route may be pronounced root or rouwt in the US in some cases depending on context.

In my experience I've always heard root for the noun and rouwt for the verb.

>Which root are we taking?
>We need to rouwt those cables through the ceiling.

> Rooter
Why the fuck would anyone pronounce it like that. I have never heard it pronounced any other way apart from rowter

This.

In the US, it's pronounced rowt-er, not rooter. I have never heard it said the other way, possibly because rooter is synonymous with plumber (likely due to company names).

>Why the fuck would anyone pronounce it like that

Because it's the natural way of pronouncing the vowels ou.

>trying to enforce a certain pronunciation from spelling
>in fucking English
Stop.

Americans pronounce twat as "twot". It's literally just wrong.

How do you pronounce "mouth"

Rooter, even though I think Rauwter is correct.

That's just the way it is in Germany. If I say "Microsoft Excel", nobody knows what I'm talking about. "Microsoft Eksel", however...

>English
>consistent pronunciation rules

Root fags can hang for all i care.

>Eksel
that's how we sait it in Italy too.

is it supposed to be different?

mauf

Yeah. Eck-Sell.
To excel.

that's literally the same to me.

Actually I believe it's pronounced "I'm a greasy fucking Italian slime ball" in Italy.

Rout - r OUT

THE ENEMY HAS BEEN ROUTED

Therefore

Router - R OUT ER

Router

Route (root)
R (er)

No the ER is the addition not the R. You don't add R to a word

Lol, I struggle the same when talking to retards. I feel you, user...

routr pýčo

You just add the R on at the end but it sounds different because route came before it

Route r

(you)

I've always understood the french pronunciation to be most acurate: Rew-téur

Rooooooooootair...

You should have laughed at him for saying it wrong.

That's not even the best Walton Goggins

Unless you're canadian

Stop being idiots, as rule of thumb go to the origin of the word/meaning/function.
The device creates routes.

So now we should also call wee-fee to wifi?

That's how we pronounce it in Spain

That's how a lot of people pronounce it, myself included

router comes from route
route is pronounced root
checkmate americans

You can't seriously pronounce wifi as wee fee. Is this a thing?

Rauter

I pronounce it why fay
A teacher I used to have would tell us to pronounce it why-fee

>route is pronounced root
Fuck off britbong.

Wtf America?

What about when root is a noun?

How do I prounounce it?

"Rout-her"

At least I've only heard french say it and looks like it's as if set in stone.
I worked at a tech support and all french would call it like that.

>Counterpoint: (You)

This. Root-er is the way it was supposed to be pronounced, I remember my professor telling us that.

Ah well, if your professor says so then obviously it's true

>being this illiterate

He showed us a dictionary, I'm sure you've probably heard of such a book.

It's a different pronunciation on each language. British English and American English are two different languages, stop arguing about the right way.

route (the noun, as in "route 66") is pronounced root
route (the verb, as in "to route") is pronounced r-OUT.

a router is a device that routes, therefore it is derived from the verb "to route" and is therefore pronounce r-OUT-er

qed

>being this mentally defective

The question is actually, how do you pronounce route.

I pronounce it "Row-tur".

Route
er

English is garbage

Route != Root

It's a router not a rooter.
It's Route 66 not Root 66.

"OU" when followed by a consonant is pronounced OW.

aren't you supposed to say root 66?

>a router is a device that manages routes, therefore it is derived from the noun "route" and is therefore pronounce r-OO-ter

That's how it is traditionally pronounced, and it annoys me.

>it annoys me so it's wrong

In Germany we pronounce it root-er, but it you could translate routing with the unusual german word ruten. That would be pronounced similar.

itt:
>merrycunts cant read an IPA transcription

>Attempting to force phonetic spelling in English

See there's your first mistake.

>That's how it's traditionally pronounced
>But it displeases me
>It is therefore wrong

"Root" for noun and "Route" for verb is correct, anything else is incorrect.
