<p>Why do some people spell ridiculous as rediculous??</p>
<p>Many people make spelling mistakes.</p>
<p>I've seen that one a lot then. I was starting to think that there was a British spelling or something.</p>
<p>Good question. It isn't even funetiklee kurekt.</p>
<p>ridiculosis!</p>
<p>To the OP, because they think it has to with re diculousing rather than pertaining to ridicule. On the old board I'd started a thread about spelling peeves, about which I'm something of a crank. The one that drives me up the wall is "noone."</p>
<p>Yep. There sure are alot of spelling mistakes out there. </p>
<p>::sigh::</p>
<p>When did America decide that a lot was one word?</p>
<p>But the worst are incorrectly used apostrophes.</p>
<p>Has anyone read, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation?</p>
<p>"Alot" is on the top of my list.</p>
<p>I am most annoyed by . . . </p>
<p>"This is the number one criteria."</p>
<p>My personal favorite is "irregardless."</p>
<p>"Definitely" seems to pose quite a challenge, as does "deferred."</p>
<p>I agree. A few of my friends were "deffered" from Harvard. That just defies all logic.</p>
<p>Actually, it's entirely too logical.</p>
<p>I hate it when people don't know the difference between "there," "they're," and "their." How about "threw" and "through," or "it's" and "its." AHHHHH I could go all night with this one.</p>
<p>How could you make it this far in life (assuming you're not hanging out with 2nd graders, and even then...) and not figure this stuff out?</p>
<p>I've noticed many people spelling Freshman as Froshman, is that a huge typing error or am I missing something</p>
<p>I'm with tebro. Whoo couldv'e posibly thaut that they or me wooldnt' get into Harvard? It's unpossible.</p>
<p>Well speaking of bad grammar, here's a crazy coincidence. I was just chatting on AIM with my good old friend, Alex. It starts off slow... bear with me. And I apologize in advance for our lame conversation topic (lame obviously being the word of the night).</p>

<p>my ultimately pet peeve is the same as frazzled's, "definately." I've seen so many people misspell it this way that sometimes it seems like that's the correct way to spell it.</p>
<p>my pet peeve is "wierd" uggghhh</p>
