Similar to the word 'rout', drop the 't', and add 'men.'

Yes Hessah, I bring technicalities.

Meh... Row-Men it is then... I better get used to it, it sounds... Weird... :blush:

Thanks for all the replies.

I say roo-men, i.e. (kanga)roo-men.

Like the word route, pronounced roo-t. However, it seems that some people (I guess from The United States of America, although I may be wrong) pronounce route differently too. But we won't get into whether the English or the Americans invented the English language :tongue:

May not have been either, my English College Professor said that the English we speak is a derivation of Low Dutch.

The word 'rout,' defined as a "chaotic and disorderly retreat," is closer in accuracy in terms of prefix in this instance, as 'rout' ends in a single consonant while 'route' ends in a consonant and vowel dual combination. Where as 'route' has many possible pronunciations, it is widely accepted that 'rout' is correctly pronounced as \ˈrau̇t\, or r-owt, regardless of nationality.

MaxOff 06-19-2008 06:23 PM
