New Hm! Route like about when a noun, but boot when a verb!
Hooray! I'm 0% (non-upper) Midwestern! :) Makes sense, though--Dad from Indiana, Mom from Oregon.

A rewter is a thing that sends network traffic hither and yon.
A rowter is a thing a woodworker uses.

That's how it is over here, anyroad.

New Both the same pronunciation in MI.
A "rooter" is something that gets used on your septic tank...

New Both prounounce 'Rowter' here.
A Rewter is generally only a very happy man, getting plenty.

Bus Routes are usually 'Rowts', probably because the drivers must have tired of the old 'Are you a good root?' jokes several decades ago :)

As for the survery - it needed more answers:
5: Soft drink
10: Piece'o'piss.
13: Shopping Trolley.

But after following the nearest approximations (execpt q10, whish was just too weird)
