WilcoFan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I always spell it compact disk but I immediately look at it and say, am I spelling disk wrong? Should it really be disc? Here's what I found out from answers.com: com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 "Disc" is the (music) industry standard. When you look at the packaging of virtually any CD, you'll see the "Compact Disc" logo. (That's true for older CDs, anyway ... maybe they've stopped that in recent years.) Even with CD-Rs, though, I usually see that same logo, complete with the "Disc" spelling.
