I don't really enjoy correcting spelling errors but I've seen this one so much on MN recently that I typed out a text to my DH this morning and wrote "rediculous" instead of "ridiculous". It's worked it's way into my written vernacular.

RIDICULOUS, people, RIDICULOUS.

There is no 'c' in 'disgust'
And the song is not called "call me mabey"

picnicbasketcase · 12/07/2012 12:17

I'm sure I saw a post with 'give them a wide birth' in it. Painful.

LegoAcupuncture · 12/07/2012 12:19

Whats wrong with horrid?

stealthsquiggle · 12/07/2012 12:29

OK, I am generally almost as pedantic as the next MNer, but I fail to see this issue with "horrid".

Buttwart · 12/07/2012 12:31

Because it's bloody annoying and sounds like you are clutching your pearls and may scweam and scweam until you are thick.

There you are, totally reasonable you horrid bunch of horrid users.

Nancy66 · 12/07/2012 12:32

it is a bit Enid Blyton but that's why I like it....

JodieHarsh · 12/07/2012 12:35

Bupcakes you have an errant apostrophe Grin

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/07/2012 12:40

Could any of you pedants explain the predominance of h words when seeking a negative opinion of something.
Hideous
Horrendous
Horrid
Horrific.

JodieHarsh · 12/07/2012 12:42

Pure coincidence, Fly. Also the last 3 words on your list have the same stem, so that's only 2 words, technically speaking, which makes it rather less a startling coincidence Grin

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/07/2012 12:53

True.

ClassFree · 12/07/2012 12:59

Heinous
Heebee jeebies
Harsh
Hellish
Horrifying
H'actually, that last one might have been a reach too far, as it has the "horr" stem Grin

JodieHarsh · 12/07/2012 13:02

Just but what about the Ds?

Disgusting
Despicable
Disreputable
Dreadful
Dastardly
Dubious
Damnable
