Easy on the E's, Just Sayin'

I would just like to remind everyone that there is no "e" in the word "ridiculous."
"Rediculous" is not an existing word in the English language, though possibly one on the bottom of a Revlon nail polish bottle.
Spelling errors are common, and happen to the best of us. But in the event of calling something ridiculous and spelling it wrong in the process just makes you look more ridiculous than what/whomever you were calling "rediculous" in the first place.
Especially as you enter high school and college. Just sayin'.


Another word that doesn't have an "e" in it would be the slang term, "ho." Reason being, the word derives from the other word "whore;" referring to a person of similar behavior or occupation. The ever-commonly confused "hoe" refers to the gardening tool.
So if you do stoop to that level, at least spell it right. Otherwise you're painfully unoriginal insult will lose even more potency, and in effect make you look ridiculous. Just sayin'.

  1. It drives me INSANE when people spell ridiculous wrong! The only time I'm willing to make an expception is when they say "redic" (which I do often). "Ridic" just looks strange to me haha.
