When did it suddenly become acceptable in the Vancouver media to pronounce the word 'Route' in the American form as "ra-ut"... instead of the proper English/Canadian pronounciation of "root"?
Recently, it has been regularly heard on News1130... and now we're hearing it on Global...
Pronounced in the American form.... as ra-ut... or rowt... it's a very different word. When pronounced in that form... it is rout ... without an 'e'... which is a very different word that means either a disorderly defeat or to cut a groove into wood or metal.
We are not American... We say Zed.. not Zee...
... and when we see the word 'route' ... we pronounce it as "root"...
So... Please... Get it right...
