Spelling of disc "Disc" and "disk" are two variants of the English word for objects of a generally thin and cylindrical geometry. These variations are due to the way in which the words originated. The differences in spelling correspond both with regional differences and with different senses of the word. For example, in the case of flat, rotational data storage media the convention is that "disk" refers to magnetic storage while "disc" refers to optical storage. When there is no clear convention, the spelling "disk" is more popular in American English, while the spelling "disc" is more popular in British English.

Misnomer A misnomer is a word that suggests a meaning that is known to be wrong. Misnomers often arise because something was named long before its correct nature was known, or because the nature of an earlier form is no longer the norm. A misnomer may also be simply a word that someone uses incorrectly or misleadingly. "Misnomer" does not mean "misunderstanding" or "popular misconception", and many misnomers remain in legitimate use (that is, being a misnomer does not always make a name incorrect).

Malapropism A malapropism (also called a malaprop or Dogberryism) is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in a nonsensical, sometimes humorous utterance. An example is the statement by baseball player Yogi Berra, "Texas has a lot of electrical votes", rather than "electoral votes". Malapropisms often occur as errors in natural speech and are sometimes the subject of media attention, especially when made by politicians or other prominent individuals. Philosopher Donald Davidson has noted that malapropisms show the complex process through which the brain translates thoughts into language.
