root and wrote.

[/ QUOTE ]

Never heard wrote.... have heard it as "rut" before. Indiana.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, it's not exactly wrote... it's a mix of a few things that are hard to put into writing on here. If you know the Northern accent, then just imagine it applied to route.

Depends:

Root 66

R"out" 9

I use both. I've beaten English.

dictionary.com says root.

I'm impressed just to see that someone knows it's spelled pronunciation, not pronounciation.

As to the route thing, I don't know why, but I will pronounce it as ROOT if it's the name of a particular road, like Route 66. But if I use it any other way, I pronounce it as ROWT. I have no idea why.

[Brainwalter]

Same as "rout". Trees have roots.

Did you not see the part where I said I've already beaten this game?

Sheesh.

I've never met a single canadian that actually said "aboot"... way to go southpark.
