As a former proofreader, and as one who appreciates correct spelling, I was ready to question the spelling of “sceptical.” Then I did some googling and found this:
“In most of their senses, there is no difference between skeptic and sceptic. Skeptic is the preferred spelling in American and Canadian English, and sceptic is preferred in the main varieties of English from outside North America. This extends to all derivatives, including sceptical/skeptical and scepticism/skepticism.”
