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.

#English verb: learned or learnt?

Being Canadian, I've been taught both, and I admit I'm not super consistent. Though generally, I use:
- learnt: short term (learnt a fact).
- learned: longer term (learned a language).
