Hi there Leslie, I am on the Braille Note list and have seen you on a few lists. I thought I would reply privately so that we can have a discussion on this one and those who don't want to join it won't have to.
I think the computer disk was often spelt with a "C" at the end when the name first came in, but now most people spell it with a "K". In both cases, with this word, the sound is the same even if the letter is different. The trouble with English is that it has so many exceptions to rules. "K" can sometimes be a silent one, as in "knock". If you are saying the letters of the alphabet the letter "K" is different from the letter "C" in that "C" is pronounced "see" and "K" sounds like "Kay". Now is that confusing? I hope not.! Write back if you need more. -- Carol - From the UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leslie P Peterson Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 10:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Sound "c" and "k" same? Theresa and others, Reason why did I ask because some blind people spell "disc" but it really mean "disk". That was why I was wondering.
