Title: "Rogue" and "Rouge"
Post by: Abomine on September 22, 2013, 07:19:41 pm
Lion King rpers on FeralHeart always seem to be getting the terms "rogue" and "rouge" confused. What started as a simple spelling error has since grown into a whole new way of (incorrectly) spelling a term.

To put an end to this ridiculousness once and for all, here is the difference between a "rogue" and a "rouge".

I was really hoping someone might make a post like this sometime soon, as I often think this exact same thing.

Thank you, Abomine. xD

this is actually a legit issue and i always thought of this like 'wow wrong definition' (of course i never directly said anything to anyone because they're pretty similiar and i dont wanna be a 'wow u must be perfect with this spelling')

but thIS IS
SINCERELY THE BEST WAY TO POINT OUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS
*applauds*

Hahahaha, I would like to see a preset that looked like Kovu wearing make-up xD!
The only reason I had one with 'Rouge' in the name was because I as not the best speller xD!

Ahaha, I laughed at the picture of the lion with rouge. |D

I've seen this spelling swap for as long as I've been roleplaying (which is about six and a half years now), and it still bothers me a lot but I never mention it, just because like Telepathic-Cecil I don't want to be one of those 'spelling has to be 110% perfect" people.

I still pronounce 'rouge' like that whenever I see it in someone's name...

...but I get happy on the inside whenever I see people say "rogue" instead.

I think everyone's just here for Kovu looking fabulous...lol

But I've never really noticed there was a difference in "rogue" and "rouge"...for the most part I never noticed until now :P.

Haha, I'm glad you guys are getting a kick out of this, and I'm happy that I'm not the only one who noticed the spelling error.

And you know what? Kovu looks darn good in lipstick and rouge. He'd make a pretty fabulous drag queen lol. :D

I thought this was going be a complaint thread about the spelling issue of rogue. I seen it so many countless times where a lot of people misspell "rogue" for "rouge." Even myself miss spells the word at times! LOL  A lot of people that I seen countless time gotten highly offended, and I thought you were going fuss about how many times you seen someone misspelled it. You sure did trolled me, that Kovu picture really made me laugh. XD props to you! +floof for making my day. :P

Lol! Kovu looks fabulous with his rouge make-up. He should be on the cover of Vogue magazine... or should it be Rogue magazine?

Often times when I see someone walking around with "Rouge" in their name, it makes me think of the Moulin Rouge.

I often times see people making those kind of spelling mistakes. When I made my first rogue character, I accidently put "rouge" instead of "rogue". But then someone corrected me, and I changed it to be rogue. It's nice when people polietley correct you on your spelling error. Altough there have been plenty of times when I pointed out that someone accidently spelled out "rouge" when they were trying to spell out "rogue" and then they get all mad and be like, "OMG I don' care!!" Really? You're going to throw a big fit because someone is trying to help you? So that's why I often times don't really bother with people like that.

Okay kids, let me explain the difference between rogue and rouge the Lady Alizarin way. There are a few popular characters who have such names.  

There is this  Rouge

And then there is this Rogue

See the difference?

I agree with all of this, except that me, has a warrior-oriented character, I have seen these kind of typos around Warriors RPs.

And also, adding something to all this stupidity:

Rouge is also the French word for red.

Rogue is the french name for Snape (ok, there's no logic here, like no wonder why I was confused when someone ttied to talk to me about Snape on FH.)
Snape is a 'villain' and Harry disapproves his actions and shizz, now remember his French name
It all makes sense.

Haha, this is amazing!

Ill admit I still spell it wrong, not because I don't know better but because I just got so used to spelling Rogue as Rouge before I knew the difference. It's just a habit now XD

Also if you didn't know Rouge is pronounced "rooj" :P

Also very true. It does get irritating when people get all into a tizzy over that, as you said, but that's why I generally don't say, "Hey, if you're meaning to spell 'rogue,' you've got the letters mixed up," unless I happen to already be in a conversation with that individual.
Although, it does still drive me crazy. o-o

Also, loving the reference to Moulin Rouge. <3

That is one of the definitions of "rouge". I was just using Google Dictionary's definition.

Perhaps to teach those who are so convinced it is spelled Rouge, one could start Roleplaying as if that character is a random stick of lipstick? xD Thank you for finnaly brining this up, suprised it hadn't been mentioned before.
