Whilst I am of the same opinion that Router should be pronounced rooter the would rooter over here in Oz has an entirely different meaning.

"To root" is to insert one's unmentionables inside a ladyfriend.

So mentioning that you need a "new rooter" invariably results in fits of laugher around the office and me praying for a sledgehammer to beat them senseless with.


Edit: On a side note; imagine my suprise when I was informed that nearly everyone (man, woman and child) wear thongs to the beach. I was expecting a scene of total horror with fat arses as far as the eye could see but fortunately for me thongs are infact what we would call flip flops.

I say router like outer (space), but with an r. Everyone else I know says "rooter".

Because you're dense and can't tell the difference between Americanese and English

If I remember correctly - router (network equipment) should be pronounced how the Americans say it - it's an invention by Cisco systems.

There was a thread a while back with this thread. God knows what it's called though..
