Thank you. I have replaced the letter for your satisfaction. Allow me to return the favor.

The first letter of a sentence should always be capitalized.

Using the verb "getting" in this context is weak of you. Leave it, and the following "the," out for better sentence fluency. Then, put "ridiculous" in quotations.

Replace "while" for "whilst" to sound more obtuse.

Replace "trying" with "attempting" to sound more pretentious.

The rest of the sentence is improper as well. Let's start by getting rid of the possessive "someone's" for just "another," followed by "out," followed by "for their alleged lack of intelligence."

The full sentence should now read:

"Imagine [yourself] spelling 'ridiculous' wrong whilst attempting to call another out for their alleged lack of intelligence."

Or, of course, you could accept that neither proper spelling, grammar, nor punctuation is demonstrative of intelligence-- especially in the context of a random social media comment.

So you obviously missed the point entirely.

not really, the spelling of ridiculous has nothing to do with whatever bullshit you replied with

Why is spelling more important to you than grammar?
