It's "rIdiculous people. There's no "e" in it.

You're not getting "diculoused" again. It comes from the latin ridiculum, just like ridicule.

A search of off-topic alone returns 6 pages of posts containing "rediculous".

This is becoming ridiculous! :)

I have found that people that are anal-retentive about spelling have other issues in their life.

I have found that people that judge other people have tiny winkies.

why don't you just stfu and stop worrying about it? i don't think there is any kind of test you need to take before signing on the internet.
 

Why do typos bother people that much?

This isn't a professional letter, proposal or anything else. The idea gets across in the context the word is used, does the spelling REALLY matter?

Because I feel like complaining about something and it seems like as good a topic as any.
