I actually looked it up before making this post, because any time someone uses either version of the word, this comes up in the comments. Apparently both "sike" and "psych" are considered correct, although it seems like "sike" is more commonly used, so I went with that one.
Psych makes more sense from an etymology perspective, but more people seem to use sike.
Totally agree
Not surprised that most people are of average intelligence or lower
That's not what average means
Median is an average.
It is however how the human distribution is. There’s no upper limit on intelligence but there is a lower one.
Oh c'mon, we had a whole show, a very good one, that should have taught everyone how to spell PSYCH! correctly. I sentence you to go watch it, all of it, including the movies. 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
The show name is a pun...
The show is clever and so is its name, which is indeed a pun playing on psych(ic)/psych (out). The bravado of calling your fake psychic agency "fooled you!" is perfectly in character for Sean.
I hate it when the misspelling has such a large uptake.
Pallet and palette are homophones, but the different words have distinctly different meanings.
The problem is the pervasive proliferation of improper phrasing
Nope.
Citing a reference is a nice palate cleanser.
