Everywhere I go on this board (and EZBoards and ENWorld) people are talking about their rouge characters and rouge NPCs.
Rouge is something sold by Mary Kay/Revlon/Covergirl that the ladies put on their face (i.e; makeup).
A rogue is the latest incarnation of the D&D thief and is a playable character.
I live near a place called Rouge River Valley. So it should be renamed to Rogue River Valley? ;)
(ps: it really is called Red River Valley but in Anglo-French)

Back off Gurububblewhatevertheheckyournameis. That's my shtick. And I will have you know that you are badly mistaken about this site. I have personally weeded out most of mistakes in spelling of the word "ROGUE". I would like to know which threads on this board you found the offending words because I doubt there are more than 1 or 2 around right now that haven't been addressed.

Another thing I'd like to point out is the complete and utter lack of sarcasm on these boards...

They must keep them there because they know that I lurk out here dispensing justice to the illiterati. We must work together. You patrol the Campaign Journals section, under my authority, and dispense fongings to those who sully the noble "ROGUE". I shall continue to fong those in need of fonging outside of the journals area.
Together we shall fong them all!!FH (Champion of Core Class Mispellings)

LOL.
I have never spelt rogue as rouge. The English language is crazy and funky though. For example: sweetmeats are candies not meats, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Also, if vegetarians eat vegetables, shouldn't humanitarians eat... never mind. Then of course there's english paradoxes. Quicksand is not quick, a boxing ring is not round and guinea pigs aren't pigs or come from Guinea.
I could go on, and on, and on :)
The Great Paizo Messageboards Rouge/Rogue Crusade continues. Huzzah!
Maybe there should be a minor crushing of the word "teh" while you're at it.

The Rogue River Valley is here in Oregon. ;)
I wish they'd just rename the rogue back to its old OD&D roots, the theif. No one ever misspelled that.

ARGH!!! WHAT THE HELL IS A ROUGE CHARACTER?!?! I hate when I've know idea of what people are talking about... ):
MOulin Rouge?
Sweet! I'm naming my next rogue Mulan.

Forget the words, even our letters don't make sense. Why do we need C when we have K and S? What are Q and X for? Why don't we get rid of the three useless letters and replace them with letters for sh, ch and th? Then we'd have an alphabet that actually reflected the sounds of our language.
I think both rogue and rouge sound offensively frenchy. Clearly we should spell it Roge.
I think both rogue and rouge sound offensively frenchy. Clearly we should spell it Roge.Like color?
Don't you mean kulla?

How about Freedom? (Rouge definitely is French word, probably rogue is too.) Or as the class is known on some tables, That Backstabbing B*****d?
And I agree on the issue of stupid extra letters, you have too many of them (incidentally, writing of Finnish is phonetic which means we use those letters only in foreign names and borrowed words...).
Oh, and while we are at it, could spelling of words cough, dough, though and through actually mirror the way they are pronounced?
Jumping in late, but I counter Krypter with myself! I live in the Rogue River Valley! No cosmetics here! Only nasty, treacherous water!
Seriously, Rogue River, Oregon. I guess I never had a problem with Rogue/rouge because of it. Rouge takes effort for me to type, rogue doesn't.

As in Kawf, Doe, Thoe, and Thru?
As one who takes a certain twisted pleasure in working "Antitransubstantiationalist" into daily speech just to see what it looks like when any given person's brain stops working, I'm considering starting a movement to make the spellings even more nonsensical, with undefined (but indubitably severe) punishments for repeat offenders.
As in: "Don't jyou dare coughe inne my kitschen!"
Fong away, brothers!! We shall bring the light of literacy to the barbians!Together we shall fong them all!!

Hmm... could this be a barbarian trying to escape the illiteracy purge?

The insidious thing about this post is I'm not 100% sure that this was intentional. I'm about 99% sure that it is, but that 1% is screaming at me.
You're a cunning man, f2k. Cunning.
In a college class with a number of international students, some of whom argued with American students about whether or not English spelling was too complicated...
Professor wrote on the board the following word: "GHOTI"
Professor said, "It's pronounced 'FISH' "
You use the GH from Tough, the O from Women, and the TI from any word that ends in "tion" (e.g. Motion).

Though I am sure this hoarse has bin beet and has dyed, L & I have fun arguing about drow versus drow.
S: Drow sounds like cow.L: Drow sounds like bow.
S: Bow? As in 'bOW and arrOW'?
L: No, bow as in 'take a bow'.
S: Bough? Who said anything about trees. Wow, doncha know? Drow live underground....
etc. etc. etc.

What a delightful can of worms I've opened. I'm so happy!
While we're at it, the plurals are: DMs, PCs, and NPCs. Singular possessives are: PC's, NPC's, and DM's. Plural possessives are: PCs', NPCs', and DMs'.
It is unfortunate that so many never bother to spend some skill points on literacy.
Up the board a ways is a thread titled "Rouge Feat". I think good rouge feats would be Tasteful Application and Swift Removal.

My half-orc character's first level was barbarian, yet he was intelligent enough to have a bonus language, so he was illiterate in three languages. When he leveled up, he took a fighter class, gaining literacy. So, as far as he's concerned, all you have to do to learn how to read and write in three languages is just kill 1000 XPs worth of kobolds.

Sweet! I'm naming my next rogue Mulan.
I'm naming my next Rogue Rouge.
Rouge? Isn't she one of the X-Men?
lol; you guys know your just begging for some big English dissertation from me because I am very deep into the language and find this whole thing and your responses very interesting. Am fighting it, but may fail my save on this thread back from the dead. I really like it when someone catches my little landmines that I plant just to see if anyone is paying attention because I have a twisted sense of humor like that, though I think several have found me out; FH is always good for a fun diatribe on rogue vs rouge usually cheered on by our ever watchful wolfman and the rest of us in the peanut gallery sometimes called the Lords of the Boards.
Fong away, brothers!! We shall bring the light of literacy to the barbians!
I didn't realize Barbie was illiterate. Such a shame.
She isn't! How dare you imply she is! Talking Barbie clearly states "Math is hard" or was that Matt? Oops, better not ponder that one too much. Anyway, blondes can too read! Or is that reed? It's those with rouge who can't. Which brings us back to Barbie ... hmmmm.
... or was that Matt?
What? I thought I heard my name.

Already beat you to it
I hear a rumour that fourth edition will give up and rename it back to Thief.*
(* I may or may not have concocted this rumour myself.)
I guess I have a lot to live up to, considering my chosen nickname.
...great...Who would have thought that role-players were literate?
(you best turn off them sarcasm detectors, they gonna 'splode).

edit - It's not "theif" anymore? ...dang it, don't hit me!
sigh, poor Aldric prolly thinks we're all jerks now as he walked right into the rogue vs rouge thing head first with a critical failure by putting it on his thread title. I doubt he had any idea of the year or so we been puttering around this small, insignificant, and minor issue, hehe best kind of thing to have fun with, poke fun at, and heckle with semirightous indignation; lol
Lol Magnus; uhm, GGD what are all those letters at the end of your post; was thinking Roman numerals, but the B throws me; hmm
Actually Valium the "Roman numerals" can be deciphered by reading the author byline in Masque of Dreams[i] ([i]Dungeon 142) or by doing a word search in any of the incredibly long Seeds of Sehan adventure and backdrop bylines.

This issue pisses me off, as it does my alter ego The Eldritch Mr. Shiny. It really bugs me when people misspell things. I guess I'm just OCD about it.
