Iβm gonna add
ROGUE: CRIMINAL/REBEL/VAGRANT/ETC
ROUGE: RED MAKEUP
itβs rogues gallery, guys. Not rouge gallery. Youβre making me think batman has an extensive lipstick collection.

English isβ¦Β Complicated.
And my favourite recent one,
It is βTO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSESβ and not βTO ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSESβ.
Huh, I have no memory of ever seeing it as βanother think comingβ. Though I guess I have read it since itβs in To Kill a Mockingbird.
It was definitely written and spoken as βthinkβ in the area I grew up (western NC, USA) but generally speaking Appalachian dialects have a lot of archaic European holdovers, so I wouldnβt be shocked if it has evolved into βthingβ in the past century or so, at least in the US.
