Then I think you are the confused one, as they mean the same thing but one is US and one is UK+NZ+etc.: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sceptic#English
replyI think you’re reading “sceptic” as “septic”. They are not the same word.
replyDamn it - well, I'll never live this one down, I'll learn to shut up next time
replyNah, as long as you're good a sport about it, it's all good. In fact, it's refreshing to have someone make a mistake like that so confidently, and then own up to it immediately.
replyIt shows good character to own your mistakes.
replyAbout as funny as “confusing” color and colour. Which is to say: not very.
replySkeptic and sceptic are pronounced identically, because they are just different spelling of the same word.
Sure, live in shame, but don't let go of the humor in it all :)
replyI did get quite a laugh when the comments made me realize what an asshat I was
replySceptic is the UK spelling of skeptic.
replyMaybe you've confused it with septic?
