How Do You Pronounce Route?

I just recently noticed that some of my friends pronounce the word "Route" as rüt while I feel more comfortable pronouncing it as rau̇t just like how I pronounce "router" (rau̇-tər). Consistency issue perhaps and besides, I use American English and have a neutral accent. I just discovered that rüt is a British English pronunciation while rau̇t is American English Pronunciation. 

Bottom line, both are acceptable. Its just like with the argument of the pronunciation of tomato and potato.
 

so, how do you pronounce "Route"?

pronunciation of Porsche

who doesnt know the car/automobile company Porsche? most of us knows but not everyone of us knows the right pronounciation of Porsche...
a lot of people mispronounced it as Porsh, but the right pronounciation is actually "Porsh-uh"Porsche is actually a last name, the company was established by Ferdinand Porsche in Stuttgart, Germany in 1930..

now, that was a little trivia for you.. :)
