    Before the 1910-1920's, sceptical was used in both American English and British English more than skeptical.

    Something happened in the 1910's in American English that made the usage of skeptical become much more common than sceptical. This change never happened in British English.

My guess is that what happened was they invented septic systems and people kept getting mixed up.

Just checked that too. 1860, France.
