Why is Eurosceptic with a "C" whilst skeptical is with a "K".  Is one harder than the other?

Me too... I only ever use "c".

There's a strange tendency among some editorial types to "correct" other people's spelling (and grammar) even when it doesn't need it, I find.

British v. American spelling?
