So which "ROUTE" do you take?

We used to have a touring caravan, and as we were members of the caravan club we regularly received copies of their magazine, En Route . The owner of one touring site we stayed at told us how much he enjoyed "your magazine, Enn Rowt"

I have never heard it pronounced the American way either, except in films or by Americans so I would question that there is any current trend

I haven't heard this alternative pronunciation of route.

We did have a lot of fun in France though when DD's sat nav because it was speaking in English pronounced at the French place names as if they were English words.

Lol - we need to petition for bi-lingual GPS voices. (Or Natalie and Roy as we call them).

Maybe they use a router (rowter) to connect up all their wif-fi devices and a router (rooter) to cut grooves in wood to make skirting-boards? If so, their internet reception must be useless. Their woodwork won't be all that good either.
