Curiosity for the day - is there any difference
between the use of disk
and disc when describing floppy drives, hard drives etc.?
I was under the impression that 'Disk' was the American spelling, and was
therefore used for floppies, winchesters, etc. Disc is the English
spelling, and is used for CDs (and DVDs?)
I think you're probably right. I've almost always seen it spelled Disk
in the US. However one notable exception is HP. They spell it Disc.
