Lock Her Up:  Re: sceptical and skeptical....Daily newspapers may, indeed, adhere to the AP Stylebook, that's fine.  It doesn't mean that another "less preferred" spelling is incorrect and a usage error.  Feel free to check any resource you choose, they will all tell you that, while one form may be more common in the US and another in Britain, they are interchangeable.  Your defining the use of sceptical as an "error" is, quite clearly, incorrect.  

I find it a bit ironic and amusing that you find it rude of me to note that your rather pedantic criticism of the use of scepticism as an error was, in fact, itself an error.  If my pointing out that your accusation of a spelling  error by Ms. Gorrow was, itself, an error was "rather rude"; was your gratutious (and incorrect) criticism of Ms Gorrow's spelling perhaps "rather rude" itself.   regards from "some random person with no discernible expertise in the business."
