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?
