You're not taking account for regional accents. Southern vs Philly vs Hillbilly vs Vietnamese saying route in engrilsh.

@OP
I say it the way you mentioned. I also say out like oot.
@previous (J)
Both also make sense 1/4 mile. One/a quarter of a mile or just a 1/4 (quarter) mile. I personally use meters.
