AMM a day late new job keeps me busy with little downtime, but here it is the return of rogues https://nichurz.wixsite.com/mysite/post/the-return-of-rouges

Please correct the spelling of Rogue! Makes it all really annoying. Occasional spelling mistakes aren't that big a deal, but rouge is terrible on spaceships!

I was honestly expecting to see a squadron of Rouge Squadron from X-wing forum page. And yes I spelled that right.

I am so disappointed.

I still fondly remember playing with fire and forget Fireballs!

I'm sure I'll bust them out again sometime, probably under Thrawn.

R-O-G-U-E. Rogue. Ne’er-do-well, criminal, lawless character.

R-O-U-G-E. Rouge. French for “red.” Also, a makeup product, similar to blush.

I really enjoy the content of your AMMs a lot. But man, run a spellchecker on them! And use some punctuation/capitalization. They’re kind of hard to read sometimes, which is a shame, because the ideas are very good.

The problem with spell checker is it tends to look for completely misspelled words (for example: mispeled) but won't necessarily know you meant "rogue" instead of "rouge." It does help though.

Xero has dyslexia, which he's shared about in a previous AMM post. Spelling is much harder when you have dyslexia than when you have no learning disability. I don't think this should turn into a "learn to spell" thread; I'm sure he's heard it a million times.

Back on topic, I like the post. I recently had a game in the demolition tournament where I had brought ATN on a Gozanti but had forgotten to do the tactic Xero discusses at the end of his post. My rogue squads (Tel, YV-666s) got destroyed in round 2 by Sloane 2-ship before they activated--I really should have put just my TIE bombers out and held everything else back, so that my rogue squads and Gozantis would take some hits and then I could at least hit back with rogues in the squadron phase.

Not got a problem with most random mis-spellings. And I know lots of people with dyslexia who do their best and really hate that they can't spell words well.

Just 'rouge' really annoys me! 'Roge' doesn't.

I enjoy the other articles and look forwards to reading them (and all the other ones too)!

@Gilarius if you are going to continue to sport that avatar you need to be annoying and sarcastic. You were doing so well up till now.

Well, that changes everything. Bertie, thank you for pointing that out, I had no idea.

Xero, my sincere apologies if I offended you. I’m a fan of the AMM... if I didn’t like the content, I wouldn’t have even bothered to comment in the first place!

I've really been amused by the new anti-Gink, personally.

The only common attribute is flying weird stuff.

No Offence taken its something that I have been working on for a long time, I mostly only get caught on words that sound the same or words that have all the same letter but a few have swapped, but I always try to do my best, however even when prof reading it can be difficult to catch some errors that may be easier for others to find. I am glad you enjoy the content though.
