How come a computer router is pronounced roooter
And a carpentary one is pronounced rauter, or is it just that I learnt that prononunciation from watching new yankee workshop a few too many times? |
Nope in the States they are both rauters. |
Bizarre American pronounciation here.
As a noun, its "root", as in Route 66...
but as a verb its pronounced "raut", eg "for my flight to Paris, France, can you raut me so that I have a 24 hour stopover in London?"
However, the box we are discussing, is a box that "rauts" your traffic to the net, so, in the US of A, it is indeed called a "rauter".
But I wonder why it isn't Raut 66? |
