I still cannot get on. They are obviously having problems resolving the matter.

Regarding excentric see the link below.

A Wiki that can be edited by anyone and that cites it's source as a single 1913 dictionary, vs. every other modern dictionary in the world (including the more modern version of the dictionary cited) such as Oxford, Cambridge, Merriam-Webster, and all the rest.

I think even for you 1913 is probably a bit before your time Dave.

Sorry Ian but you are quite incorrect, both spellings appear in Chambers and the OED

Yes, but meaning something completely different to "eccentric", which would seem to be a rather important thing to check:

Not according to Chambers. And I suppose that the common meaning of eccentric derives from the same concept of off centre, i.e. not mainstream .

Quite possibly, but either way it's pretty clear that the spelling excentric of eccentric is all but dead in modern usage.
