Rediculous...why?

[AdeTuono]

Why rediculous? I've never seen it spelt like this anywhere else but here. Recently, it's been cropping up more and more regularly. It's not even as if it's pronounced like that.
Is it cacography, or do people really think it's correct? Shirley not...

Haven't seen "rediculous" spelt before but I have nearly spat coffee everywhere when the non-word "pacifically" was continuously used a by a visitor at work.

Probably a left-over from the recent Liebour conference.

It isn't a 'non-word'.

Pacificlly is an adverb, it means; in a peaceable manner.

OK, some use it when they mean specifically but beware, context is everything.

I think you will find it is the way the cartoon character Yosemite Sam says it.
