A lot of the “Toot!” material on this websites are based on crazy ideas or stupid random stuff, things that you might reply with a “What-The-Toot!”, yet once in a while, there are things reasonably good, yet deserve a “Toot!”.
A few days ago I came cross this website, which I think is absolutely rediculous yet great. It’s about spelling a certain word right in English. In my opinion, due to the pronunciation of the word, it is misspelled frequently. I have to admit, had I not visited the website, I would have continued making the same exact mistake.
By the way, I just spelt the word “Ridiculous” deliberately in the wrong way three times in this post. If you noticed them, kudos to you; if you did NOT notice them however, please pay a visit to How-To-Spell-Ridiculous.com
Speaking of English AND pronunciation, I used to have a Malaysian English teacher who thinks she is all-that-great, especially when it comes to English. One day, she said to us:” ProNOUNciation is very important.” Few people seem to care about her “proNOUNciation” in my class, chiefly due to the lack of people actually listening.
So, to the teacher whom I refuse to name, *cough* Chiam *cough*, if you are somehow reading this, please remember that the pronunciation of the word “Pronunciation” IS pronunciation, or pruh-nuhn-see-ey-shuhn.

Aiyoh! You know, I thought you are going to explain what is ‘rediculous’!! No wonder I was pronuncing it differently as ‘red-diculous’. Though it is a different word from ‘ridiculous’.
Glad to find out I am using the correct spelling. :p
