And you missed the oblique reference to the mispelling of 'rogue' as 'rouge'.

 Yup! I sure did. I have red on my face!

I wonder if I have a bit of dyslexia. Sometimes when I am typing along without looking at the keyboard, I can make a mistake that is backwards wrt two letters.
For instance, spelling the word "careful" as "carfeul", car fuel? lol... The mistake I made with rogue vs rouge is that same swapping error as well. This is a "bad" one because spell checker does not flag it.
It's strange because when I look at the keyboard while I am typing, well, that does not occur.
