I believe the second one. There is another variation too.

 

Routered is what I believe to be correct John.

But with so many different ways of spelling throughout the English language anything is possible.

 

Which term is correct and please dont say, "either!"

routered. simple past tense and past participle of router

routed. noun. 1. a defeat attended with disorderly flight; dispersal of a defeated force in complete disorder

 

It's definitely routed, not routered.

 

Routed for me too. A router is used to rout a channel, which is thus routed.

 

I would say routered, "he routered a slot in the wood", we don't say "he routed a slot in the wood", at least i don't think so

 

Routed. 100%. According to Cambridge Dictionary here there's no such word as "routered".

 

Dear god but that is so ugly to look at.

It may well be either but, please, those of you that do, try routing. Rout things, pieces of wood, and then proudly tell us how you routed them.

The English language is a living thing but "routered"? Urgh. Ugly. Sounds like something Bush would have said. Let's kill it here.

Shaking my head in disbelief.

Shoot, the dictionaries are probably all too busy looking for idiot words and headlines with things like youthquake to update entries for words people actually use.

This early in the day, my head can only take so much shaking in disbelief.

 

It was a slow day in the world of slot cars.........!

 

........... "routered"? Urgh.

TBH I'd never read (or heard) "routered" until this morning.

Sounds like something Bush would have said.

My first thought on reading the OP was "more American bastardisation of English".

Let's kill it here.

Most definitely! If it's not in a proper English dictionary (see my link above) it's not an English word.

So don't use it!

 

Rogererd, dodgered, bodgered....all sorts of nice words could be adjusted. I'd never heard the expression before but I notice a few uses on YouTube.

I think I'll stick to routed ta!

It was a slow day in the world of slot cars.........!

There is always room for general discussion and not all of us are TOTALLY obsessered with SlotCars...just almost.

 

Thanks for the input, lads.

I used routed and will continue to do so.

What prompted my thread was that I saw today the other term (routered) used several times in a prominent Australian slotcar retailers newsletter.

 

Root(sic)66, Route 66, Rowt(sic)66, where do you get your kicks?

Oxford Dictionary https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/rout too

rout2<a> </a> verb

1with object Cut a groove, or any pattern not extending to the edges, in (a wooden or metal surface)

'you routed each plank all along its length'"

 

Routered.

A CNC routered sign.

Jack did the routering.

These people have a lovely pink website. Pink is the colour of certainty. Certainty is always correct. In the battle of routed versus routered, routed has been routed.

You could, however, continue to mistakenly use the term routed, routed on your misinformed journey by incorrect directions. My satnav routed me via London. My wood-working router routered a slot. My computer's router routed its data packets via Oslo.

Just because you find something on the Internet does not mean that it is correct. "Rout" is definitely a verb for making a groove. "Router" is a noun for a tool that makes a groove. Here we are talking about an adjective. My dictionary does not show either "routed" or "routered". "Routered" would mean made with a router. The common term in the US is "routed" right or wrong. My spell checker does not like "routered", so I am sticking with "routed" for the time being. I suspect that both terms might be correct, depending on your point of view. Talking about a track with grooves "routed track" would be correct. Talking about a track made with a router "Routered track" would be correct. Obviously a track with grooves might be made by some other method other than with a router. Now I am starting to get confused myself.

 

Just because you find something on the Internet does not mean that it is correct.

Correct. Colour rules. Pink is correct. I read that in a book. Blue isn't. Nor yellow. I read that on the internet.

Talking about a track with grooves "routed track" would be correct. Talking about a track made with a router "Routered track" would be correct.

Correct again. Scalextric track routes its cars around the track via the slot. The route is pre-determined. It's a routed track.

A track made with a router is a routered track. It too routes its cars around the track via a slot, so is a routered routed track. A digital routered track routes its cars around a variety of routes, so is a routered multi-routed track. It could even have been built by multiple routerers, so would be a multi-routerer routered multi-routed track.

Can't we just use an alternative word? I propose gouged. A gouged track created using a gouger. Or grooved. Made using a groover. Groovy.

 

I think you mean gougered.

 

I've been so busy planering some planks, and sandering a table top that I haven't had time to consider the question properly.

 

I've been so busy planering some planks, . . . .

Did you use a router plane or a regular plane? If so, that would be router planing, or maybe router planering, no longer totally sure any more . . .

 

Or even propererely!

 

Correct again. Scalextric track routes its cars around the track via the slot. The route is pre-determined. It's a routed track.

And after brexit it will change to roaded, in a further assertion of liberation, oops, freedom from EU dictat, oops, imposition, oops, errr??? I give up!

Ist. The answer is ist. A cyclist. A routerist. A liberationist. A routeristed track. Or ised, perhaps ized. Routerised. Routerized.

 

Routerised actually doesn't sound that bad. I probably won't adopt it though.

 

I need to make axle holes in some wheels bigger, will they be reamered or reamed?

Cheers

John

 

Reamerised.
