Holy sh*t, yes.

I even hate the people who say it that way, which is probably the reason they spell it that way. I hear it constantly here in the south of the U.S. The proper American English pronunciation of it has an "ih" sound and not an "ee" sound. (You would think they would make the connection to "ridicule", but no.) Both "i" letters should be pronounced the same (according to how we've come together and decided on how we should uniformly butcher the Queen's English as a general standard), so when I hear people saying "ree-dic-you-lus", I automatically know that they spell it wrong.
