I found the rather curious non-word “skeptable” in a posting, and wondered just how often people used this particular bastardization of the word skeptical. The answer is ::google(“skeptable”, “quite a lot”)::. Try for instance this link from Waukegan Schools that instructs parents on how to educate their children:
Have a ZERO tolerance for ANY grade below C!!!
Have a very skeptable attitude toward any grade below a B!
The more you adhere to this, the better your child will do in school.
No doubt they think it is a perfectly cromulent word.
You sure embiggened that topic!
Isn’t this one way new words evolve into the English language?
i.e bastardization of existing words?
I bet “my-bad!” also drives you nuts!
