    Default Pet Peeve - Is it really that hard to spell rogue correctly?

    I mean, one is like rohg and the other is roooooooozh. Unless you really are talking about red, please don't type rouge.

    Just remember it spells like Roger. Discuss.

    Thank you! Lol what's worse is having a guild with "rouge" or "rouges" in the name.

    This is also an issue in the World of Warcraft forum when talking about the rogue class since 2006. Chances are people aren't going to start spelling rogue correctly anytime soon.

    I support this message. The worst thing is you can see people spell rouge in the rogue section. /facedesk

    I always thought it was just a typo or a predictive text/auto-correct thing. guess not.

    This seems to have gotten slightly better from my observations.
    Or maybe I just don't spend that much time in towns anymore.
