  1. Please tell me how you pronounce “route” and your area of origin.

    As middle schoolers delivering newspapers in Marshalltown, Iowa, by buddy and I determined that our paper routes were “rowts,” rhyming with “out.” Other usages were mostly “root,” as in Nat King Cole’s “Route 66,” but delivery routes were “rowts.”

    Thanks.
