Today a BT engineer came to install a new wi-fi router.
When we discussed the job, he kept referring to the router (rhymes with shouter), rather than the router (rhymes with shooter).
I started speculating what a router (rhymes with shouter) might do in my living room. Presumably, cause a rout – a disorderly retreat of defeated troops.
