R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.  Not so hard, is it?  Then why do so many people spell it rediculous?  Subtle, maybe even unconscious, communist sympathies?  Or are they just plain idiots?

The fact is:  every day thousands of people misspell the word ridiculous on message boards, forums, blogs, chats, email and anywhere else on the web that people happen to find themselves with a blinking cursor and a desire to use a word meaning "that situation is absurd!".  The goal of how-to-spell-ridiculous.com is to reverse that trend as much as we possibly can.  Yes, to correct a common misspelling of one word: ridiculous.

How can we accomplish this goal?  By being SpellNazis.  When you see someone on a forum or message board misspell ridiculous, reply with a link to http://how-to-spell-ridiculous.com.  This will help in two ways:
