Poll: Disk or Disc?

[Judgement101]

My friend and I were arguing over how to spell Disc (disk) like as in an Xbox 360 game disc (disk). And I was wondering, which one of us is right? So I was wondering what the all of you think is right

 

[Radeonx]

I'm pretty sure it's disc.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

I tend to use disc mostly, but without noticing I do sometimes spell it disk.

I'm pretty sure it's disc.

Thats what I said but he insisted it was disk.

 

[Pielikey]

I always figured it was disc if you're talking about the circly plastic things you put in computers and game consoles and DVD players.

Disk only refers to the floppy kind as far as I know.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I've only ever seen it spelt as 'disc'.

 

[Koeryn]

disk, short for diskette (as in old school floppys.). Disc is the accepted spelling of today, however.

Well my friend puts "disks" (floppy disks?) into his Xbox.....no wonder its broken...

We are typing the English language, are we not? The language that heavily uses and abuses the letter C in order to look far more sophisticated than other Germanic languages, is it not? Yes, it is indeed C.

Hmm, I smell a ninja.

 

[Worgen]

the correct term is a "game plate"

 

[DazZ.]

You have Google.

Just Google "disk and disc" and it will tell you both are correct, but sometimes a 'k' is used more than a 'c' (and visa versa) for certain types of disk/c.

Can you eat off of those?

 

[DJDandeelion]

disc is something like a DVD or CD, where as disk is something like HDD(Hard Disk Drive)
If your talking about a Xbox game its disc.

 

[PureChaos]

disc, though i actually thought about it which i didn't think i would need to

What about Disque? (Technically its pronounced disc or disk)
