Just like thier belief that the USA is the "greatest country in the world".
We just have to get used to ignoring thier silly ideas. 😀
Originally posted by PeachyIn the States either pronunciation of "route" is used. When it refers to an actual road, such as "Route 66", the more common pronounciation is "root". When we're talking about a paper route, or the way to get from one point to another, we usually say "rowt". I'm not sure why.
Yeah, have you heard of networking equipments such as switches and routers?

Originally posted by rhbAluminum/aluminium - It depends on how you pronounce it. The two spellings reflect two different pronunciations. I suppose I prefer the American spelling as it has one less letter and one less syllable.
What's your view on the Aluminium / Aluminum debate?
What about the pronunciation of Oregano?
What about the pronunciation of Oregano? The way I pronounce it is Oh-RAY-geh-no. How else is it pronounced?
Originally posted by PeachyI am indifferent about how to pronounce 'router'. Either way seems fine to me.

You know, in order for your post to have a point, you should have said why not spell tough, togh...
Originally posted by boiledcodEach country has its own style for different words, but if you want to get technical, we did win the revolution here in America, so it should be "color" now and "colour" should be banished to the furthest pits of hell. 😛 (Nothing against jolly ole england, i actually like visiting there)
