Is "Justiciar" the new "Rogue?"

[ArmoredSaint]

You know how lots of people misspell "Rogue" as "Rouge?" Well, I swear I've seen no more than two or three people spell "Justiciar" correctly since the paragon path was revealed the other day--everybody always types "Justicar" instead.

This is doubly irritating since people who misspell "Rogue" are probably still pronouncing the word correctly. However, I strongly suspect that the people who leave the second "i" out of "Justiciar" are mispronouncing it as "Just-a-car" as well.

Deplorable.

Isn't Justicar a similar title? WoW's tier 4 paladin set is called "Justicar".

I blame Warhammer 40k, which spells it "Justicar."

My Grey Knights army is where I learned it as Justicar, I had no idea Justiciar was even an option.

And I pronounce it "Just-a-car", so what is the proper pronounciation?

Jus-tee-see-ar. Yeah, it's stupid. Just-i-car.

"Justicar" isn't a word. It's a misspelling. To hear an audio of the pronunciation of Justiciar, go here.

Does it matter how someone else pronounces a word?

AFAIK, no where in D&D's history is it spelled Justiciar. I could certainly be wrong, but it seems that even if Justicar is a misspelling, it is a mispspelling that is canon to the game.

I was taken aback when I found out this was Justiciar as well, so I checked Complete Warrior and, lo and behold, it's spelled that way there, too.
