    Not a native english speaker, but I pronounce it 'rooter'. Never heard of anyone pronouncing it in any other way.

    Native English speaker here: Definitely "rowter." If I heard someone call it a "rooter" I'd probably laugh.

    Fuck off with your 'rowter" pronunciation. The 'rowter' pronunciation is for this woodworking tool.

    "Rooter" makes me think of a plumbing snake.

    @daemonAD consider Google's base though ;)

    Rooter. Why? Because rawter just screams American for me. The last thing I want is locals from whatever country I'm travelling to looking at me like an old disease.

    @h3ll Yes I am. We can add this to the long list of words pronounced differently across the Atlantic.

    Oddly enough, routes you drive on are usually pronounced "root" around here.

    Native English speaker from Canada. I say "rowter". Never heard it pronounced any other way, even when I've been to the states.
