How is ROUTH a girl's name? Are they not pronouncing it correctly? It rhymes with "SOUTH." What, do they think his last name is "RUTH?" Good Lord! Sometimes it amazes me how ignorant people can be!
Yep, I'm ignorant. Or perhaps just not American? Whichever, if you don't hear the name spoken anywhere (like me), then how are you to know which way to pronounce it? It might help you to know that, in the UK, 'route' rhymes with 'Ruth'.

No no no I wasn't calling YOU ignorant! Wow you really have to watch what you say around here lately I guess. :rolleyes: But someone who REPORTS on TV or radio, or even in print, about something such as this - should get their FACTS straight! That's all I meant! I wasn't referring to the general public. The media, however, should know better than to make fun of something before even knowing what they are talking about!!!
