'skeptical' vs. 'sceptical' Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:52 am  'skeptical' vs. 'sceptical'
 

Well, both versions are correct, I guess. As a matter of fact, I think «skeptical» is used even more often although usually words of Latin origing have the letter «c» where in other languages the words are spelled with «k».

How about these:
«october» — «Oktober» (German)
«cassette» — «Kassette» (German)
«cable» — «Kabel» (German)
«coal» — «Kohle» (German)
