Has “utilise” lost its meaning in America? Good ole Merriam Webster puts it much more simply merriam-webster.com/dictionary/utilise ("British variant of utilize") |

Will grammar errors become “correct” after enough people use them for long enough? Language evolution is good. Don't wanna end up like Latin. |

What is the correct way to pronounce 'router'? I know but there is another option called US English (Diacritical) which doesn't use IPA but some other custom symbols (like Merriam Webster) |

What is the correct way to pronounce 'router'? kiamlaluno, you're using the IPA version of the NOAD (are you on a Mac by any chance?). The diacritical version, which is also the one found in the NOAD WordWeb add-on, says: "router 1 |ˈroutər| noun a power tool with a shaped cutter, used in carpentry for making grooves for joints, decorative moldings, etc. router 2 |ˈroōtər; ˈroutər| noun a device that forwards data packets to the appropriate parts of a computer network." I have never, however, heard any American call a router(2) "rooter" instead of "rowter." |

What is the difference between “I forgot” and “I had forgot”? But have gotten and have got have completely different meanings in American English. |
