"Rogue" and "Rouge"

[Abomine]

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

[Feareh]

LOL, im like laughing so hard at this. Never have I realized that the two were easily mistaken by people xD. Now when I see the miss spelling on there name from Rogue to Rouge I shall think of Kovu with lipstick xD

[antherax]

XD Haha.
Kovu the rouge.
Those silly Lion King Roleplayers :b

[SoulRevenge]

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!

[MadMoai]

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 .

[Abomine]

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.
