Scepticism is healthy, whereas cynicism is the Devil.  I don't believe in the Devil.

OP, I'm skeptical of your motives.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

You are welcome to your scepticism.  It is up to me to prove myself.

It was the best of the year and I don't think that I can see it as an excuse for the next few weeks of school tomorrow and then you have a great way of the year and I don't think that I have a great way of the day before I get a follow back.

I can press the predictive word feature on my phone over and over again, too. :Big Grin

Scepticism is a lot like skepticism, except spelled by people so fucking busy making new threads that they can't be bothered to spellcheck titles. Or by limeys. One of those. Tongue
