Pronunciation

edit

Is this always pronounced "skeptic" or does the non-American spelling "sceptic" go along with a pronunciation "septic"?

Always sounds like it has a k in it. Equinox 06:25, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, septic is a completely different word. This sometimes confuses those who speak English as a second language. Dbfirs 14:48, 28 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

What type of agnostic?

edit

Noun sense 3 "a type of agnostic" needs more detail. Chambers 1908 has this: "(theology) one who doubts or denies the existence of God or the truths of revelation", which really just sounds like an agnostic or atheist. Equinox 06:25, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
