It's only hard to spell if you have no clue about french ;-)

Here's a memory hook:

- "ou" because that's french for "oo", as in: douche.

- "l" since it comes from "roule" or "rouler", as in: joule, boule (there is no "ll" between "ou" and "e" in french, ever).

- "tt" since it's a female noun, as in: cassette, baguette, couchette.

Well I think most visitors don't know French, as the article indicates most are from the US. Even I misspelled the domain on my first try. doh!

[hussong → eam]

Honestly, it took me a minute to realize that the overlap between French and English is actually smaller than I thought (and much smaller than between English and German). I had a hard time coming up with sticky analogies for the spelling of "roulette".
