Ok, time for some srs biz...
There is no such word as rediculous.  No word is spelled like that, just like no word is pronounced "REE-dik-you-luss".  However, there is a very handsome word ridiculous, which appropriately, is pronounced "ri-DIK-you-luss".  Do people go around mistakingly spelling "ridicule" as "redicule"?  Let's hope not.
Now a quick quiz.  No cheating.  Did William Shakespeare write A Midsummer's Night Dream or A Midsummer Night's Dream?  Even if you know the answer, which do you say/hear more often?
Finally, this is not a picture of Samuel Adams at all.  It's Paul Revere.  Here's Sam.

I used to be a serial abuser of the spelling "rediculous." It was a habit carried over from Middle School and one that I've hopefully rid from the typing that I type and stuff.
