'ROUTE' - as in to route the signal.

To me, I say it 'root' or 'rute'.
The pronunciation of it 'rauuwwwrt' or 'rowt' or 'raeiout' etc really annoys me.

How do you say it? Ive just watched a video on a Native Instruments product and the guys said the word 4 different ways lol

It is pron. 'ROOT' if you speak properly. This 'ou' to 'ow' thing annoys the crap outta me; 'ou' is the same as 'oo'.

You don't pronouce 'you' as 'yaow', do you? (unless you're from Birmingham!).

So, to conclude, route = pron. ROOT.

this was discussed in another thread, 'rowt' actually has another meaning than 'root'

plus americans are generally wrong

shut up, they're both valid
/rut, raʊt/
( I like none of them)
next question?

–verb (used with object) [root, rout]
4. to fix the route of: to route a tour.
5. to send or forward by a particular route: to route mail to its proper destination.

Both are correct, apparently.

I say ROWT; get over it.

we invented the language so we govern it!

its root!

just like its alluminium not alooooooooominum!

D'oh!

Route: (root) is in a journey or trip / distance..
Route: (rowt) is that thing that carpenters do to doors to make shapes and stuff with a router, is it not ?

The English language is messed up.

Thing that gets me is these words sound the same: Their, There, They're - must be confusing language to learn.

That's how I use them, yes.

But here the question is not how to pronounce 'a route' but 'to route'...

How about good old GHOTI, read as FISH believe it or not.

GH in Enough
O in Women
TI in Nation

..Fish.
