people often ask me; "Foone, you're an amateur physical media historian, when is it spelled disc, and when is it disk?"
Well it's simple!
Discs grow down from the ceiling, and disks grow up from the floor.

I was really hoping it was just δίσκος, so the greeks would be calling them floppy discuses.

in reply to Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ • • •in 1986, I tried to make "disq" happen. My reasoning was that it was wrong in every language, and thus carried no cultural baggage.
I should probably stop trying to make "disq" happen after 39 years of trying. And no, I'm not called Gretchen.
