Good point,

Showing my youth there, it's been train station for as long as I can remember. Must be deep seeded americanism's in Nottingham!

I blame Raaaaaaaaaaaabin Hood.

Rawte 66?

As I brought it up, and it seems to have caused some controversy;

@jake - if cisco calls something that route's (roots) network traffic a router (rawter) do the drive on a route (rawt) to route (root) themselves to work?

Paris, because she knows the difference!

@ Omar Marquez

"The train station"?????

It's always been the train station. Surely the americanism is the Railroad station?

Routers

I know it's not a spelling lingo issue, but the difference between a router and a router.

As it a router - said in a yank way, is something i put nice curved edges into wood.

A router in a UK accent is something that routes my network traffic.

Every time I hear an America talk about a "rowter", I think of my black and decker with a network cable coming out of it!!
