There is no such phrase as "In Route". It makes no sense in either English or French.

It should be "En Route" i.e. on the way, rather than half in english and half in french saying "in the way".

i can't believe i've only just noticed that.

I vote to keep "In Route" because of its colloquial charm.

I noticed it when we were coding, but left it... (we used mehul's spelling for it...)

Finally did the signature thing.

I see anoniem's point, but changing the spelling destroys this game's heritage.

Clearly the only fair solution is to make an option in account settings which allows players to choose whether that phrase will read as "in route" or "en route".

It's also clear that doing that would be the best possible use of the admins' limited coding time.
