So despite the fact many say rooter, there’s a mix of pronunciations, and personally I go with the US version when talking about network stuff just to avoid the sound of thethe word and the potential connotations here

You 🇬🇧 folks can be mad about how we pronounce “hover”, but at least we don’t absolutely butcher “router”. -

We share much in common for pronunciation with the UK, unsurprising. But we have, historically at least, also used “root” as an alternate, more ok to say in public, equivalent to “fuck”. i.e. “get rooted”, “it’s rooted”, etc. (1/2)
