Disc and Disk are two different things.

This is a Disk. Spelled D-I-S-K. It is short for Diskette.



This is a Disc. Spelled D-I-S-C. It is short for Compact Disc.



I HATE it when people make that error. :)

So no, you do not put a disk into your DVD player, you put in a disc.

Well at my point of view it wouldn't be a technical thing seeing it's a annoyance to you.

Well as far as I see it, nobody says, "Disk" anymore...
