@ismail . thank you for your contribution.

I have not added spelling or other information for these terms:

If you want me to add these terms, please re-open this issue. Supply references from high-quality sources. Specify the locales (American English, British English, other). Thank you,

Thank you for your fast fix, since I don't know if you have OED (Oxford English Dictionary) access, I'm attaching the screenshots for: unsceptical, extramission and speeded-up

For projectiological it's complicated, it doesn't exist in OED, but it's used in Psychology:

extramission unsceptical speeded-up

@ismail , thank you.

Usually, we don't add archaic words. Thus, I did not add 'extramission'.

OED is for BrE, thus, for the OED references, I added spellings for BrE only.
