Comment on Is "disk" just a different spelling of "disc" or are they actually different words?

  my attempt to simplify the above explanation; -disc =round -disk =storage

  Storage can be round but not all round things are storage

    But that doesn’t cover the round storage we call compact discs. It’s just nonsensical

      I mean to me compact disc sounds like small and round. Just happens to also be storage media 🤷‍♂️
