Can you say sceptical about, or should it be sceptical of?

Can you say "sceptical about"? Or is it "sceptical of" only? Neither? None? Both?! Depends?

🤔

I'd use about but both are correct.

I’d say about too.

Either one can be correct. Sceptical about is usually used when you have a list of things, and sceptical of is usually when it’s one thing.

Forgot about this thread. Thanks guys!

@IrishSelkie Blimey you're good!

Also I think it depends on the type of thing. Eg I might say I'm sceptical about my ability to meet the deadline, but I'm sceptical of collagen being the cure to ageing.

One being unsure, the other being cynical perhaps?
