I get the urge to beat people online when they screw up “rogue” as “rouge” and pique as “peek” and/or “peak”.

[chajin]

The result of the rogue rioters who experienced pique upon the news of Mr. Grey’s death has become a canker on the city of Baltimore.

[Louis Foxwell]

There's lots of that going around. These are each words commonly flummoxed by scribes herein. Try your hand, and don't confuse rogue with rouge. Lipstick on a pig comes to mind.

[shibumi]

Praytell, lest we have fit of pique, what this rogue spelling "limeric" means, standing out as it does like a canker.

Pique went rogue because of a canker.

Excellent!

Brilliantly proferred.

[Covenantor]

During the May Day parade in Moscow, a rouge tank veered from the line, cankering noisily over the curb, while the driver piqued over the rim of the hatch in disbeleaf.

Nobody expects the spell czech inquisition!

You got me.

I will write 100 times "limerick" so as never to misspell the word again.

A Mothers Day Poem:

Sarah went Rogue, And we all want to thank her.
And With a fit of pique, PIAPS rankles
In the world of women, Hillary’s a canker
Inflicting upon us her incurable cankles.

[P.O.E.]

There once was a rogue with a canker
Whose battleaxe wife was an anchor.
He purchased a boat
The thing wouldn’t float,
So to scam the insurance, he sank her.

[Louis Foxwell]

Without reading carefully the first time I missed the brilliant limerick you wrote in a fit of genius.

A second well deserved award, and a repeat of your work here:

Praytell, lest we have fit of pique,

what this rogue spelling "limeric" means,

standing out as it does like a canker.

Also, an honorable mention for the double entendre use of the word "rogue" describing both the writer and the spelling.

[chajin]

The rogue sailor dropped the ship’s anchor,
Which placed it amidships a tanker.
The captain, a Greek,
Was so furious with pique
That his forehead erupted a canker!

[Louis Foxwell]

And a very LOL for you. I have a special award, reserved for just such occasions.

For your efforts I hereby award

Pique went rogue because of a canker.

Sometimes it's the little things that matter most.

Hillary! Clinton is a rouge canker on a fit of Pique.

[Louis Foxwell]

Sarah went Rogue, And we all want to thank her.

And With a fit of pique, PIAPS rankles

In the world of women, Hillary’s a canker

Inflicting upon us her incurable cankles.

Absolutely fabulous!
