We say roof, I think. But there are tons of regional pronunciation and phrases down here. Probably mainly in the older generation. TV and a mobile society does a lot to dilute that.
I have had my eye on Bill Bryson's "Made in America" but it's not available in my preferred forms of book - audio or Kindle - so I've thus far refrained. I suppose I also ought to check my husband's collection. He has a passion for word useage and grammar.
