On another front, that unreliable source Wikipedia does like "copasetic" the way I spelled it. Though now I'm tempted to switch to copacetic, even if it looks a bit like a vinegary policeman.
Google's reached the point where it can function as a reasonable
facsimile of a current lexicographical corpus; you can always google
alternative spellings, using Advanced Search to specify English pages
only, and see how the Web is voting. In this case, roughly 3 to 2 for
copacetic.
