s]
Adjective - causing or worthy of derision; absurd; preposterous; laughable: a ridiculous plan

Normally I'm not too concerned with grammar nazis on the 'net, after all, expecting people from nations all around the world to write in perfect English would be very pedantic. But I was talking about this the other day, and I reckoned this word gets the most mispellings on internet forums, a colleague thought that there were probably more cases of people using i.e. when they really mean e.g. Anyone think of another word that can challenge it for the most numerous incorrect spellings or uses?
