23A Philosophic doubt (US spelling)
Is this Scepsis or Skepsis ? I am confused !

[paulineward]

I had scepsis, but am now checking!!!

[sarumite]

Hi Shaney, I think Skepsis is the US spelling (according to Chambers)

[shaneystar2]

Thanks Pauline ..I am finding it hard going today ..my brain is not in gear !

[paulineward]

Yes Sarumite is correct...just checked in Chambers...skepsis is American spelling. I'm saying nothing!!!!

[shaneystar2]

Thanks muchly sarumite ...I am just too lazy to get up and go and lug Chambers of the bookshelf !
I shall plug on with it !

[sarumite]

Wow !! Pauline .. are you really lost for words ???

[sarumite]

Open a bottle of red Shaney ... that should do it!

[paulineward]

Ermmm!!!

[shaneystar2]

Good idea !
Thanks once again folks ..enjoy your Sunday .

[paulineward]

It's hard going some days isn't it shaney?...If you need any more..I have actually done it!...so ask away!

[shaneystar2]

I cannot find this wretched anemone for the life of me ...you would think I would know this !

[shaneystar2]

Got it ....pasque flower !

[paulineward]

sorry shaney...had popped to check the meat!!!

[shaneystar2]

Finished it now Pauline. ..on to the cryptic ..I have bunged a jumble of stuff in the slow cooker today . Hope it will be OK....mind you if I take up the idea of a bottle of red anything will be OK !

[paulineward]

That's right shaney!! Anyway wouldn't it be good having it done for us for a change?
Always struggle with the Sunday cryptic, can never get them!

[shaneystar2]

Lol ...my lot can't boil an egg !
No wonder I am worn out and have to resort to drink !
Enjoy your lunch pauline xx

I think setter should only ask for an american spelling when it is required for a checking square.
