I've never had trouble with "rue" either, but I think the real issue is that some of us just don't encounter it often enough to get it right. It's not about being foreign, it's about frequency.

You're saying exposure matters, but that doesn't explain why even native speakers sometimes struggle with "rue" — it's not just about where you learned it.
