ROUS
Hi Rosie, welcome! I saw your question, and thought I would answer you. "R.O.U.S." is an acronym for "Rodent of Unusual Size", a creature found in the story The Princess Bride, and since that is the only known common use of that acronym, this is why typing "ROUS" into the search box, sends you to the page. Redirects are done for the "most likely" article someone would be looking for. I hope that helps explain it! Ariel ♥  Gold  00:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi ArielGold, You must have been quick - I zapped my comment as soon as it was up because I then saw the earlier one and the explanation. I wouldn't have thought those giant rodents could possibly be the most likely article, particularly as ROUS is not strictly the same as R.O.U.S. and (I believe) there are other acronyms the letters stand for as well as the pathologist I was actually looking for. But I don't know how to create a disambiguation page. (RosieRoberts (talk) 00:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC))
