I once asked British people how they pronounce router. The result was ambiguous. I'm glad we don't have such problems with g. I would say, that it had to be the same as in gift. On the other hand, there is round and wound. I like Shaw's example of how to pronounce ghot (fish).

Some pronounce route as 'root', which is confusing to me.

If you grew up with English and French as second and third languages, you probably would be confused if it weren't a question. 'rooter' comes in far more naturally to me than "rowter". And it isn't Rowte 66, isn't it?

A roto rooter, maybe? Unclog your toilet or send packets through the web?

As front-end developers we are often tasked with making a prototype for clients so they can see how the software is intended to perform.

Because it's still in a demo stage, there is no back-end or database developed yet. To get it to behave realistically, we often have to use a lot of tricks, hand-waving and magic.

That's why it's called a Poof of Concept.

CSS developers have it easy when dealing with sizing units. CSS will accept a wide variety of units, such as px, em, rem, %, etc.

But there are pitfalls. I once meant to set a heading to 20px but accidentally typed pc and now my title reaches to Sirius.
