If you want to be frank, this discussion really isn't about proper spelling. It's about grammatical arrogance, and that is so obnoxious. I've never mispelled rogue, but i'd never use that as a basis to put other people down. That's just mean, and down right pathetic. Honestly, if you can't figure out what someone on this discussion board is saying when they type "rouge", you aren't as intelligent as you are trying to make yourself out to be.Have some grace for those who can't spell properly. You'll be a better person for it.
