But, see, they're spelled differently and are two entirely different things - rooter and router.
Exactly. "rooter" and "rowter"
Now, of course, the same can be said for "root" and "route", both of which I pronounce as "root", but hey, this is English we're talking about, and who ever said English was logical or consistent?
PS - Sue, may I humbly suggest that instead of thinking about rooters and routers, we'd all love to see you thinking about flarks and plarks?
