The right and only way "ROOT-ER"
>>55631843
I really struggle on my job when talking to my American colleagues I have to switch the pronounciation to make them understand me.
>>55631843
i used to say this until my friend laughed at me for not saying rowter :(
>>55631828
>US version: Rowder
God damn, make a 't' sound.
>>55631863
Is rooter the not-murica way and router the Murica way?
>>55631843
>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.
>>55631828
>that voice at the end
did he died?
"roo-ter". I'm spic.
>>55631828
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".
>>55632237
>Ou makes the "ow" sound. Not "oo".
Counterpoint: "you".
>>55632237
What about Route? Like Route 66
>>55632315
shit nigga it's 2016
it's illegal to own people like that
>>55632237
>>55632315
English is not as simple as that.
>>55631828
Britbongs say rooter because they're fucking dumb.
>>55631828
I pronounce it "gif-aluminium".
>>55631898
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.
>>55631828
> Rooter
Why the fuck would anyone pronounce it like that. I have never heard it pronounced any other way apart from rowter
>>55631843
This.
>>55631889
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).
>>55632639
>Why the fuck would anyone pronounce it like that
Because it's the natural way of pronouncing the vowels ou.
>>55632237
>trying to enforce a certain pronunciation from spelling
>in fucking English
Stop.
Americans pronounce twat as "twot". It's literally just wrong.
>>55633181
How do you pronounce "mouth"
>>55631828
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...
>>55632237
>English
>consistent pronunciation rules
Root fags can hang for all i care.
>>55633413
>Eksel
that's how we sait it in Italy too.
is it supposed to be different?
>>55633412
mauf
>>55633463
Yeah. Eck-Sell.
To excel.
>>55633484
that's literally the same to me.
>>55633463
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
>>55633522
Router
Route (root)
R (er)
>>55633534
No the ER is the addition not the R. You don't add R to a word
>>55631863
Lol, I struggle the same when talking to retards. I feel you, anon...
routr pýčo
>>55633544
You just add the R on at the end but it sounds different because route came before it
Route r
>>55632237
>>55632315
(you)
>>55631828
I've always understood the french pronunciation to be most acurate: Rew-téur
>>55631828
Rooooooooootair...
>>55631864
You should have laughed at him for saying it wrong.
>>55632171
That's not even the best Walton Goggins
>>55632237
Unless you're canadian
Stop being idiots, as rule of thumb go to the origin of the word/meaning/function.
The device creates routes.
>>55633655
So now we should also call wee-fee to wifi?
>>55634061
That's how we pronounce it in Spain
>>55634061
That's how a lot of people pronounce it, myself included
>>55632237
router comes from route
route is pronounced root
checkmate americans
>>55634061
You can't seriously pronounce wifi as wee fee. Is this a thing?
Rauter
>>55634061
I pronounce it why fay
A teacher I used to have would tell us to pronounce it why-fee
>>55634494
>route is pronounced root
Fuck off britbong.
>>55634689
>>55634061
Wtf America?
>>55634702
What about when root is a noun?
>>55631828
How do I prounounce it?
"Rout-her"
>>55634520
>>55634737
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.

This. Root-er is the way it was supposed to be pronounced, I remember my professor telling us that.
>>55635298
Ah well, if your professor says so then obviously it's true
>>55634702
>being this illiterate
>>55635338
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

>>55631828
The question is actually, how do you pronounce route.
>>>/r/askreddit
>>55631828
I pronounce it "Row-tur".
>>55631828
Route
er
>>55631828
English is garbage
Route != Root
It's a router not a rooter.
It's Route 66 not Root 66.
>>55632315
"OU" when followed by a consonant is pronounced OW.
>>55637075
aren't you supposed to say root 66?
>>55635495
>a router is a device that manages routes, therefore it is derived from the noun "route" and is therefore pronounce r-OO-ter
>>55637133
That's how it is traditionally pronounced, and it annoys me.
>>55637195
>it annoys me so it's wrong
>>55632222
In Germany we pronounce it root-er, but it you could translate routing with the unusual german word ruten. That would be pronounced similar.

See there's your first mistake.
>>55637195
>That's how it's traditionally pronounced
>But it displeases me
>It is therefore wrong
>>55632416
"Root" for noun and "Route" for verb is correct, anything else is incorrect.
