I have never been able to get anyone to tell me when the word "route" started being said as "rout" rather than "root".
Australians have started down this path as well, although I suspect that's because "root" has another meaning here. But nevertheless, it's all incorrect pronounciation to a Pom like me!
Any ideas?
