You should do a poll about how to pronounce "router"

Grandpas that read the word and don't know what it means.

They also say:

Linkskis
Mazola Foxfire
Internet Exploder
mo-DEM (emphasize the second syllable)

...and a few others I'm sure I've forgotten.

The normal way, until now. From now on I will pronounce it "uthernet" because I feel Uther is an under-represented name.
