Regarding the word, root ... one would have another inference (and possibly alarmed) if one would hear that word spoken in the backwater of old Georgia / South Carolina coastal areas, especially from an old Geechie as in 'root doctor'. They are revered and respected. Reminds me of the movie, "The Rainbow". ad

In Australia a ROUT is a military term. A ROUTE is pronouced ROOT, and a ROOT is something you might get if you get lucky, as well as being the bits of flora that extend underground. The list is endless. If it's any consolation, people from Melbourne talk funny, compared to Sydney.... even if they spell the same. And how hard is it to read those old books where they didn't have a different symbol for S, and used f for s? Language. Endlessly fascinating.
