hello.

post how you say it and where you are from and perhaps what's the closest route next to your home.

route like you route an army? rout.

What if you're cheering for an army as they retreat down a road?

I speak to people all over the world regarding IP routing. It's 'rout'. You say 'root' and you considered a moran immediately.

def. in IT you wouldn't want to confuse something that's routing vs something that's rooted.

general distinction for me tends to be verb = rout, noun = root

In response to the OP's added question, I never use the expression "Route 9". It's Highway 9 or Interstate 9 or just I-9.

yeah, but whenever I see "route" my brain just cannot say 'root'. I understand your distinction though.

It's like asking a canadian to say "about", it always gives me a chuckle.
