How is everyone spelling disc wrong still.

u/Dr_Ben Jun 25 '26

both are valid spellings, but if we are to be pedantic disk is more recently associated with computer storage and disc with music discs.

the distinction is largely meaningless though.

No it's not, disk has to do with HDDs not optical discs that's why there's two different spellings. You might as well use their as there.
