<< review queue entry 44341 - submitted by 'cpitclaudel' >> According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences#Different_spellings_for_different_meanings , "disc" is only used in american English to refer to compact discs (CDs). =================== Editor: No, your Wikipedia reference doesn't say that. It starts off saying how things *used* to be: "Traditionally, disc used to be British and disk American. ..." ... and the rest of the discussion is limited to how to spell the word in the context of electronics and computing only. Nevertheless, what you claim is correct, according to Webster's definitions of "disc" and "disk". In other words, "disk" is correct American spelling, except in limited cases, such as "compact disc", "(vinyl) disc" etc. In the case of our entry 片 片 [pian1] /disc/sheet/ you could say it's not incorrect, since that character is used to refer to CDs etc as well as "disks". N.B. If you are submitting for changes with a minus (-) line and a plus (+) line, please don't correct the spelling in the minus line -- only in the plus line. The minus line indicates the entry which is to be deleted! |
