in route vs en route :

in route vs en route

in route or en route

En route is a popular expression that means someone or something is in transit or on the way. Its imported from a French phrase that literally translates to "on the way".

"There are enemy vans en route to your location, be on the alert," said the commander.

In route is the misspelling of the above word though it seems like it should be correct but it still remains a non standard variant.
