Subject:Burning CDs and Keys From:kelli -dot- lewis -at- onyxgfx -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 23 Oct 2000 12:51:22 -0700
Hi. Quick question: when you've completed the process of burning security keys
or CDs, are the keys/CDs "burned" or "burnt?" The dictionary shows "burned" and
"burnt" as interchangeable when it comes to scorched objects...is there a
preference in the software industry as to which word is used?
I'm having a total brain cramp on this one and can't seem to find any helpful
info in my various reference books, style guides, etc....
Thanks,
Kelli
