(recognizing that route is its root word)

You could also ask people how they pronounce route and get different answers.

I always thought the 2 pronunciation of route were different but similar things. Raut as in a set road between two large places, not specific place in a city but the city itself. Root as a path between 2 specific points, house to house.
