Why can't people seem to discern the difference in spelling between ROGUE and ROUGE? It's one of those things that really drives me bananas! ROUGE is makeup! You know, like BLUSH? ROGUE (from http://www.hyperdictionary.com) means "a deceitful and unreliable scoundrel". It also is a common class to play in D&D or RPG's -- rogues are generally thieves, stealthy, out for their own means, don't follow the pack, etc. HOW IS THIS BLUSH? *snort* Or if someone says "that is a rather rogue app", they mean "it doesn't shut down properly" or "it hogs system usage and doesn't give it back", and so on. Same meaning.

Hmm. That was rather a rant, lol. I've been working too hard again it seems.
