Found a new word for my <a href="http://kelliem.livejournal.com/75945.html">&quot;words frequently mixed up in fanfic&quot;</a> list. It's not exactly a homophone but it's kind of a fake visual one. We need a fancy word for that. Pseudohomooptic? Aaaanyways, here it is:<br /><br />Rouge =/= Rogue. <br />Rouge is an old-fashioned word for a cosmetic used to make the cheeks or lips red. Or a reddish powder, chiefly ferric oxide, used to polish metals or glass. <br />A Rogue is a scoundrel or a scamp. Or a vagabond. Or a vicious and solitary animal. Or an X-Man (X-Woman?). ;D<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kelliem&ditemid=235434" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kelliem.dreamwidth.org/235434.html rants word usage public 0
