| Mispronunciation Of The Word Route by aris(op): 3:42pm On Apr 03, 2018 |
Recently I have heard people mispronounce the word ROUTE as ROUT. This is fast gaining ground even among OAPs and other presenters. This has got me thinking...do sound of words suddenly change, or do Nigerians just like creating sounds as it suits them. Nairalanders please help me here...I no know weda na me dey make mistake: what is the right pronunciation of the word ROUTE route /ruːt/ rout raʊt/ From the above these are different words with completely different sounds. How Nigerians twisted and mixed them up am yet to find out. I know say na from the sound of the word ROUTER /ˈraʊtə/,dem form this one. Remove the last 'R' and u are der. |

/ru:t/ is a British pronunciation while /raut/ is an American pronunciation......... both are grammaticality correct and mean the same thing. But as Nigerians colonized by the British we should be using the former |
