How does a pun not break the rules? They're nothing but incorrect usage and alternative meanings!
Method of Madness:
Wait, what? Puns only work when the usage is actually correct (but still sounds like something else), otherwise you're just saying gibberish.

I'll usually say "ant", but sometimes I actually will use "ont" (like "root"/"rout" for route, I usually use the former for that, but not always.) I wonder if we should make a pronunciation thread. For that matter, I wonder if we already did and I just don't know about it.

see, for me, it depends completely on the name its being used with. examples:
-Ont Lori
-Ant Diana

I use root for everything. I guess it is just a generalized term.
I rarely say rowt. I didn't use it in Pokemon; that's for sure.
Considering the networking machine is usually pronounced rowter and not rooter, I think the differentiation may have been popularized to avoid confusion with the word root, like android devices, and plants.
