mala Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I've noticed that a lot of cpers spell the word ridiculous with an "e", instead of an "i". What's up with that? Is it supposed to be an new, hip, alternate spelling, or are that many cpers unaware of the correct spelling? Enlighten me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyshady Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 wellyou see.the thing is..the reason i might type it as rEdiculous on CP is beacause when something is like ridiculously good- i say..redic. i dunno, its just slang kid. but i do know the real spelling for important documents or something of the sort.thats just my explanation..maybe the rest are just illiterate or.. something....

tastyt Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I'm not sure if that's worse than people constantly mixing up to, too, and two; or they're and their. I'm sure we could come up with tons of other common spelling/grammatical errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatman Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 ...i CAN be a nerd...but being a moody bitch takes precedence over all that...so if i'm in the mood to be correct, so be it...in fact, there are times when i'll point out the errors within text just to fuck with someone - especially if they're trying to come off in an eruditious manner...
