you will have noticed the americans all say Route to rhyme with trout. But the song about 'route 66' clearly pronounces it the british way. computers now communicate through a router , which sounds like grouter. so was there a meeting ? was there a vote ? when is the latest reference you got to Route, and when the earliest to Trout ?

For that matter when did "going to the pictures" become "seeing a movie"

Films became movies. Programmes became shows. Series became seasons. We're all much happier now.

Mark E Smith uses Rowt instead of route in the song Slang King back in 84. Twas the first time I had heard it pronounced that way.

There's one thing more annoying than people on TV pronouncing it "Rowt". It's my girlfriend yelling "Route" back at the TV. I manage to keep it in my head, she doesn't need to say it out loud. You do the math.
