P.S. "Disc" or "disk" in your country?

general convention:
disc - optical media (cd, dvd, blu-ray discs), old school vinyl
records (disc jockey), type of brakes on a vehicle, toys and
games (frisbee disc golf)
disk - magnetic media (hard disk, floppy disk)


It's come along the same historical path as "programme" and "program".
One was UK English spelling, the other American.
We've adopted the American version for computers in the UK.

Disc/disk started the same path but that one diverged into what you call
"general convention".
