I wonder if I have a bit of dyslexia. Sometimes when I am typing along 
without looking at the keyboard, I can make a mistake that is backwards 
wrt two letters.

For instance, spelling the word "careful" as "carfeul", car fuel? lol... 
The mistake I made with rogue vs rouge is that same swapping error as 
well. This is a "bad" one because spell checker does not flag it.

It's strange because when I look at the keyboard while I am typing, 
well, that does not occur.
