Awesome thread. To this day, I still have trouble knowing how to use semicolon, dash and hyphen properly because I have been taught so many different rules from different teachers.
I think people often misspell it because they try to sound it out with the all the arbitrary rules of the english language. Because ridiculous isn't a word that some people use all the time, they simply try to associate with another word that sounds like it. Take for example, REPLY, it isn't RIPLY so when they think RIDICULOUS, they spell it REDICULOUS.

Ridiculous, isn't it?

No shit.

I think twitchyzero was talking about the word "weird" and not "ridiculous."

English is one of the hardest languages to learn, because it's a language built on exceptions, whereas almost all others are built on rules, and while some of the rules can be complex or seem odd to us, they do tend to be fairly strict. English, on the other hand, tends to be very accepting of "evolution".

...or to invoke a famous internet quote: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

What pisses me off is that people fucking tolerate the god damn red lines underneath their words. Every single fucking forum and/or social networking site has a spellchecker, if you misspell a word, it will be marked with that annoying and embarrassing red line. I don't understand how some people can be fucking lazy enough to be able to tolerate that shit.

It's also there for a reason. Use it to your advantage. I mean, I just misspelled 'embarrassing' once but I went back and corrected my mistake. Now my fucking paragraph looks much nicer and I don't sound like a complete fucking moron... not counting all the vulgarity, of course.

English is not my first, nor even my second language.. it's my third. It's odd that my vocabulary is of higher quality than some native english speaking a-holes.

The thing that bothers me the most is the misspelling of 'Your' and 'You're', though.
I also hate it when the first letter of a sentence is not capitalized.

...

"Your a idiot"

Oh yeah? I hope you fucking get cancer!

Sorry, I have rage issues.

Yeah the amount of exceptions is amazing. Bet most people can't read the following without making a bunch of mistakes.

Quote:
It has been said that English is one of the hardest languages to learn to speak and spell correctly. Read this poem by Dr. Gerald Nolst Trenite (1870-1946), and you might begin to see what a strange collection of rules and exceptions (mostly exceptions) is the English language! You'll certainly wonder how you ever learned to read!

The Chaos

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Feoffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough --
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

Dr. Gerald Nolst Trenite (1870-1946),
a Dutch observer of English.

I actually used to make this mistake, but Revscene members corrected me, and I eventually started writing "could have" instead of "could of".

I improved my English by using Revscene! (and I think this was during a fightclub thread too)
