    Just a slight niggle, skeptic is the American spelling. Sceptic is the one most used over here!

    Its a forum for the people who dont believe in any form of the paranormal in any way shape or form to discuss how those who open their minds to the slightest possiblity of a spiritual realm are idiots. :p . I eagerly await the charter

    why the desire to create a duplicate forum to repost threads in the paranormal forum simply to debunk other peoples beliefs

    When it's written as sceptic I keep pronouncing it in my head as septic...

    Septic people probably really should be kept in a corner...

    Well I propose it be kept as skeptic, in solidarity with the international
    sk(c)eptics movement. The Irish Skeptics Society spells it skeptic because it's the more widely used spelling, and to avoid confustion.

    didn't know you were American...

    I've never heard of the spelling sceptic. Think of scepter for a minute. wouldn't sceptic phonetically come out as septic?

    British or US English, it's missing an apostrophe in both.
