not to be horrible or picking on you, but it is "rogue". i would have thought that most people here would have come across games featuring a "rogue 5hp hit, 8 sneak" character to be able to spell this right, but almost everyone does it wrong. ok - picky, picky me.

It's a little much to say almost everyone does it wrong. More likely, since it's something that catches your notice, you probably have a bias for noticing/remembering when it's incorrect and not noticing when it's correct. It could also just be a simple typo or an autocorrect error for any given occasion

Yea, I’d say most people get it right. It’s not a misspelling that I see often.

Wait until they have to spell the name of the character stat that determines if they are strong or not.
