Apparently, "supersede" does indeed supersede "supercede".

supersede

/soprseed/

• verb take the place of; supplant.

— USAGE The standard spelling is supersede rather than supercede.

— ORIGIN Latin supersedere ‘be superior to’.

su·per·cede

variant of supersede

usage Supercede has occurred as a spelling variant of supersede since the 17th century, and it is common in current published writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error.

So how do you redneck's tell the difference between "Bob was off in the woods caught with his pants down" and "Bob was often in the woods caught with his pants down"? As a first offense, I'm sure you'd give Bob some slack...

You seem to have an overabundance of apostrophes.
