We used to make fun of our cousins from Indiana who drank “melk”.

And my in-laws from Ohio say chimley and sammich and panacake and mater and 
pronounce the “s” in Illinois.

And my grandmother grew up in Iowa and washed dishes in the “zinc”.

I pronounce route 66 as route 66...not root 66. I'm certainly aware that many 
people do say it that way, but it is a mispronunciation - much like saying 
warsh in place of wash.

  I have a good friend from their. They always call it the root you take, so it 
makes sense that if the device is determining the "root" the packets should 
take, then it's a rooter. Haha. It does sound very funny to me. 

  If you have kids that watch Thomas the train, they call sir topem hat "the 
fat controller". 

  Thank you,

    im watching a video on mpls by some British fellow, he pronounces router as 
rooter, is this the case on the other side of the pond? Is there a true 
pronunciation or is it just a matter of regional dialect?
