    Root.

    I don't know why Americans started saying 'rowt', they used to pronounce it 'root' until sometime in the late sixties.

    It's mildly annoying.

    How do they pronounce it in Canada ?

    During the 60s, there was a television series called Route 66. On the show it was pronounced "root".
