Please!
Its 'sceptical' not 'skeptical' unless you're an illiterate American baboon. Please be faithful to the mother tounge Mainwaring.

Why is it when people correct others they almost always get something wrong?
That's tongue ( as in mother tungyoo )

Quick report: I just ate lunch - a very nice curry with tofu, potato, tomato and onion, and rice. I mostly used a spoon with a bit of fork action. No chopsticks, certainly no knife.

Tooshay indeed! I think you'll find skeptical is a word of greek origin and as there is no c in the greek alphabet, is spelt with kappa (k) hence skeptical.
As for lilyatlonely, you've convinced me, i apologise for my skepticism and congratulate you for inciting such spirited discussion about an otherwise pointless point!

So you're saing the American mispelling is a result of a direct link to the ancient Greek....
Ah! Right! I see!

I just didn't realise you're the only one that's entitled to be critical and pedantic.
Who says the american is "mispelling"? (I think you mean misspelling... that's a good one though!) I'm just saying it's a greek word and I'll spell it as the greeks did!
But keep up the self-righteous tone. It suits you...
