Which is the greatest of all US routes? (objectively)

I would say it has to be an east-west US highway, as the interstates just don't have the same personality. An east-west route will capture more of the country than a north south route.
However, this is one of those things where a top 5 list makes far more sense, as a single route cannot possibly go through a representative sample of the country.
There are those who travel, and those who travel well

twun-tee
In all my long life, I've never heard that pronunciation, neither in person, nor in movies, TV, or song. But if it is pronounced that way, I would expect some people might butcher "plenty" in the same way.

Welcome to Oklahoma.

Plenty is plehn-tee. I don't think twun-tee and plehn-tee rhyme.

Twenty is twehn-tee. I've never heard anyone say twun-tee.

Apparently, the Okies must have stopped taking Route 66 to California, then.

At least Scott keeps the second "T" in there. I say "twen-nee".
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

That's what my pronounciation turns into when I say it moderately fast.

I don't know any Okies. Do Okies go to Wundy's for burgers?
