publicly? correct spelling?

Hello,

Is publicly and publically both correct? Is one british and the other american spelling?

Thanks a lot

I think publically is a variant of publicly.

Regards.

Never having encountered it before, I was astonished to find publically listed in 12 dictionaries:

So am I assuming rightly that they are both correct and they are used both in american and british english?

Probably, but I'd avoid using publically as a lot of people will think it's wrong.
