    It depends where you live! In America we spell it "Disc", but in other countries it's spelled "Disk".

    in our grammar we write greek words with "K"
    the latin words with "C"

    disk/disc came from an old greek word

    then we have to write: "diszk"

    keep calm, our population is under tenmillion
