'skeptical' vs. 'sceptical' #3 (permalink) Fri Oct 10, 2003 6:52 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».

«cassette» — «Kassette» (German)
«cable» — «Kabel» (German)

In Swedish we write
Oktober
Kassett
Kabel
Kol (coal)
kål cabbage
The two different words kol and kål are pronounced the same way.
