If you say route the way u do how do you say rout?

Do u think alliteration works?

We pronounce "route" either as "root" or "rout". (I say the former.)

In either case it is distinguished from its homophone in the usual ways.

How come so many British people cannot pronounce their Rs? They make them into Ws.
