Hee. I use both pronunciations of the first two, depending on context. Much like the two pronunciations of "route". Am strange, yes. :)

I will admit to using poth pronounciations of some of those (yes, especially the first two)

As for "route", thats pronounced "root", the thing pronounced "rowt" is spelled "rout".
Well, on this side of the pond, anyway.
I get freaked when I here routers being referred to as rowters...

Yes, particularly when the thing I'm used to hear called a "rowter" is a machine tool for cutting grooves in wood or metal, and thus not the kind of thing to which one would entrust packets of data. That's a "rooter".
