Hi George. I wasn't chastising anyone for their spelling, (and you spelled it correctly) just pointing out to Patrick that the wiki thing I posted explained the two spellings, and part of the difference *was *the US/UK thing he mentioned--though it is not a clear cut case of US/UK such as gray/grey or color/colour. For those that care about such things (that would include me) disc is currently the correct spelling when referring to brakes, whether English brakes or American brakes.
