Root vs Route
Just sayin'
A tree has roots. Notice the double o's. The word 'route' does not have double o's, it has 'out.' Route rhymes with out, not with root. It's like the difference between shoot and shout.

The worst offenders are:
there / their / they're too / to / two But that's why there are good citizen crime fighters who are anointed and appointed to protect the world from improper spelling and grammar:

The pronunciation is up to the user as both are accepted as correct.

The common UK pronunciation of "route" rhymes with "shoot". The common US pronunciation of "route" rhymes with "shout". Not to be confused with "rout". Also... is this a rüter or a rau̇-tər ?  Related: What is the correct pronunciation of the word "route"? - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange

That is a router/bridge combination, what we call a "brouter" Of course, if you hack it, you can get root on it too... |

Meh, regional differences.
I'm from the NE, we pronounce Mary, merry, and marry three distinct ways unlike the rest of the country.

i hate:
effect-affect. I always use effect, figure I get it rights 50% of the time lose-loose. have to stop and think about them I am not a great speller, sometimes I just don't care, lot of the time my fingers hit the wrong key first and I transpose 2 letters. the keyboard on the this computer is shifted to the left so that does not help either.

I'm from the south....I can't pronounce anything correctly
 . There's a small island on our Outer Banks (Harkers Island) and the residents from there have a unique dialect....I can't even begin to phonetically spell how they would pronounce "out" . Ouwt...
