You š¬š§ folks can be mad about how we pronounce āhoverā, but at least we donāt absolutely butcher ārouterā.

@caseyliss itās easy. We pronounce (networking) router that way so that we donāt mix it up with woodworking router which we pronounce the other way
@alexmagill Do you talk about the woodworking one that often? Iām not sure Iāve *ever* referred to one.
-
@twostraws I would pronounce that as āen rowtā. Is that what makes you wince?
@caseyliss @twostraws it should because itās a mixture of French (en) and English (rowt). In/on rowt would be a bit more consistent than using en.

@caseyliss rarely these days. But I do think of it every time I hear you all pronounce router (networking) on ATP

@caseyliss Not to drag the tone down but twat is maybe one of the more puzzling differences. Despite growing up in the US, Iāve completely dropped the US pronunciation which does seem odd upon reflection.

@caseyliss Yep! Iām surprised it hasnāt morphed into āon routeā both in terms of spelling and pronunciation.

@caseyliss as someone whoās not a native English speaker Iād have a hard time differentiating between root and route if both had that similarity in pronunciation in both US and UK English.

@caseyliss itās actually all French āen routeā, and ārouteā in French is pronounced ārootā. It means āon the wayā in French.

@dkatri Does the
say āsaLmonā or āsammonā?@caseyliss @dkatri In Israel, itās āsal-monā. Then again, thereās a street in Jerusalem named after the 16th president, which folks pronounce ālink-oh-linā.

@caseyliss And yet you put periods and commas outside quotation marks. Next youāll be putting an āsā on the end of āmath.ā

@twostraws @caseyliss For some it has. I've heard it pronounced every combination of en/on + route/root in the US

@caseyliss A router (root) is a networking device. A router (rout) is a woodworking power tool.

@caseyliss A Brit planned a route to be routed just right,
While a Yank routed his router all night.
āThatās not how you root!ā
Laughed an Aussie en routeā
āYour routeās fine, mate, but your root needs more bite.ā -

@drdrang Thatās the programmer in me ā the comma is not part of āhoverā but part of the enclosing sentence. Itās a scope issue.
