and other answer is it's a Router, not a rowter, we aren't in the states, & i do correct customers at work when they say it wrong

When someone says Rowter, it sounds like a babies saying it for some reason.

Could also be a concatenation for a wireless router

I'm not American so I say networking terms like ethernet and router properly.

Eethernet, as it should be. I've worked in IT for over a decade and have never heard anyone be so stupid as to pronounce it the 'other' way.

I've worked in IT for 15 years and I concur.

Cache.

I say cayche. I know it's wrong, but I don't like the sound of 'cash memory'.

it gets really awkward when someone wants to talk to me about networking. Luckily it doesn't happen too often

Yeah sorry that wasn't aimed directly at you, I was just wondering why they're such a common thing to see everywhere as if every human being instinctively knows their meaning lol

You don't have to know their meaning though, you just have to look it up. Pretty easy to find the meanings online.

Cayche?

Who do you say that to? Do they look puzzled until you correct yourself?

Eh-thernet all the way. Just the way it's always been in my department.
