      I don’t follow the usual style on the networking device - a router - I pronounce it as rooter because it provides a route (rhymes with root) for data, as opposed to the woodworking tool - a router (rhymes with doubter) which would be a poorly descriptive name

      Of course Americans pronounce both those words (router and router) the same
