Celcius spellings

Shouldn't Celcius be Celsius ???

It's been spelled both ways, along with other variations and alternatives (as noted in the REXX example). -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 17:35, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I looked into REXX and see centigrade, centingrade, centesimal, Celsius, Celcius. WHERE did you find centingrade or centesimal? --Walterpachl (talk) 22:01, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

None of my dictionaries have celcius. I asked on my faforite English forum and got these responses:

is Celcius a valid / used alternate spelling of Celsius 
 or just a misspelling in some Wikipedia articles and elsewhere?
 Thanks in advance

http://www.onelook.com/?w=celcius&ls=a - the alleged entries either come up with no entry found or redirect you to celsius - apart from the wiki page for the rap album Celcius, and we all know that rappers can't spell ;-)

YOY should rosettacode insist and propagate a misspelling (my view) instead of using the usual word (Celsius was the one who defined the Celsius scale) --Walterpachl (talk) 20:20, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
