Compact Disc players (and old CD-ROM drives) say 'Compact Disc Digital

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?)

Curiosity for the day - is there any difference
between the use of disk
and disc when describing floppy drives, hard drives etc.?
my take
Disk = floppy or hard disk
Disc - some people use it to describe a CD. Imagine it started with a
spelling error
