As a Canadian I read that as "rOATer" for a moment, because the word row rhyming with ow is quite uncommon here -- the row I know is in a boating or a data context.

As a Canadian, obviously not.
(For real though we don’t use that word for argument or whatever.)

As a Brit, so did I. That said, a "rotor" would be pronounced as "rOATer" and has a completely different meaning.
isn't English fun !
