minus-squareWhats_your_reasoning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·21 days agoI 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.
minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·21 days agoWhere 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?
minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·21 days agoThe only one of those that is possibly “oot” is route as in directions, in standard American English

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
