Those who write ROUGE instead of ROGUE

Let me be honest.

As someone who's family is french and is learning french this annoys the fûck out of me.

The word is ROGUE!

The U is after the G not before it.

Grammar Nazis don't even catch this.

Rogue has a completely different definition than Rouge.

Hell.

One is a fûcking color.

Every time I see this my brain actually is like "Hold Dafuq up. What is this shît? Why would he go red? Wait a second- Why the hell is this man red?"

And all I see are blobs of red walking around.

Like what?
