s/rouge/rogue/ obviously a simple typo, just putting it here in case the author didn't notice it.

- AceJohnny2 12y agoI've been seeing this surprisingly frequently over the past year or two. My first assumption was that the wrong spelling is spreading around like a meme. My second thought was that people are relying on a spellchecker, and since "rouge" is correct spelling of another word, not highlighting this and the user lets it through.
- mijoharas 12y agoI've got to agree, one I've noticed a lot recently is seeing people say that they'll loose [sic] out on an opportunity or somesuch, which I attribute to what you have suggested (as your second suggestion). I find it odd that there are certain misspellings that crop up more and more though.
