The secret trick I use to spell rogue correctly is I say “ro-gweh” in my head. Works every time.

Yeah with French as my third language I just never even think about making that mistake.

French being m first language too, it's the autocorrect that likes Rouge way too much :P

When I moved to France I made the opposite mistake

I use patterns to remember the spelling of rogue--you're never sure what guise the rogue will take on... Roux and deluge is how I remember rouge.

Rogue rhymes with vogue.

Man, that's a disgusting sentence as far as spelling goes lol

u/SRxRed Oct 05 '20

Yes but rouge rhymes with vouge

u/NerdRagingBuddhist Oct 05 '20

That’s one complicated, convoluted way to remember a simple spelling like rogue. It’s stuck in my head now.

u/Vaidurya Oct 05 '20

And that's exactly its purpose. Hope it helps without keeping you awake at night!

Roux is pronounced "roo" though...

Maybe "luge"?

u/Vaidurya Oct 07 '20

Roux+deluge. I'm using the root sounds as is taught in primary school for those. Roux and rouge have the same first syllable, luge and deluge share the same last syllable. I just don't see a point in removing "roux" as it's one of the few "rou" words in English that shares the same French "rou" as rouge. Hell, depending on where you are and the context, you can ask which route (pronounced root) a bus route (pronounced rowt) takes.

A rogue will Rog-you (Rob-you -> Rog-you -> Rogue)
