Subject:disk or disc? From:Robert Bononno <bononno -at- ACF2 -dot- NYU -dot- EDU> Date:Thu, 21 Apr 1994 22:28:28 -0400
I've noticed that there are two spelling for the word disk: disk and
disc. I read somewhere that you should only use the latter (disc) when
describing laser discs and CD-ROMS.
Does anyone know if this is correct usage and if so, why?
Much obliged.
