How it's spelled then?
PSA: The difference between “ROGUE” and “ROUGE”
rogue /rōg/
noun -An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal. -One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp. A rogue is a playable class in Dungeons and Dragons.
———————-
rouge /roo͞zh/
noun -A red or pink cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips. -A reddish powder, chiefly ferric oxide, used to polish metals or glass. -Rouge is not a playable class in Dungeons and Dragons. It is either reddish tinted make-up or reddish tinted polish.
Thank you, I thought it was spelled the same.
You're welcome, and my new favorite random internet stranger. Not only did you take my pedantic correction without throwing a tantrum, you even corrected the post title! King.
I sometimes say rouge purposely to troll people like you in world of warcraft.
Also, that spelling error pains me just as much, which is probably why it's funny every time
LOL, I like the cut of your jib!
