This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Rouge vs rogue is another good one. Also, aluminum vs ah-lu-mini-um.

aluminium is as far as im concerned, the incorrect way to spell that word, im pretty sure it's a regional thing at this point.

I'm fairly sure 'alu-mini-um' s the proper UK/Aussie/NZ and possibly Canadian way to pronounce it, only Americans pronounce it alu-min-um.

But yes, rogue vs rouge is another one people mix up all the time.

"I'm sorry sire, he went rouge!" "My god! how will we get all that make up off them!?"
