I live in the US. For me a computer router is pronounced with an “ow” sound. Like if a Brit were “having a row” with someone, but with -ter at the end. Changing course (“rerouting”) also uses that pronunciation. However, highway “routes” can be pronounced with that same vowel, or as “root” like a plant root.

Which way is “correct” by Kiwi standards?
“root”
It’s a French word, and they don’t say “rowt”
Weird, when I say it, it’s an American word.
From my point of view the firewalls are evil.
Yeah, but yanks think they invented everything
Admittedly, school shootings started with you lot, so there’s that.
Most reserved Eurobro response. “This is how I pronounce a word” WElL aT LEaSt oUR SKeWlS aren’t SHEWTIN’ GAlLERiEs!

Wrong side of the world
Let me know where, so I can steer clear.

I do actually. Your insults are a bit dated, have you got high-speed internet in whatever village you’re from?
Root in french is racine, but we do say routeur designing the electronic box.
