    Some people pronounce route, rowt, or root.

    I pronounce it root.

    haha. I'll edit this once I think of more, thats the only one I can think of right now.

    an easier way to think about it...is thinking of someone with a southern accent or a foreign accent, and compare it to how you talk.
