Well yeah, that's true, Hankster. Empathic was first defined in the Oxford sometime in the early 1900's, and empathetic was added later, sometime in the '30's or '40's I think, due to popular usage.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
