What's the difference between Banc and Bank? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

The use of the c where the k used to go seems to be increasingly common. Is this to sound different, or is there some regulatory loophole?

Banco is Spanish for bank, and all of the "bancs" I've seen tend to cater primarily to the hispanic community.

The difference appears to be that one spells its name with a "c" as in "Banc", and the other with a "k" as in "Bank."

Bank returns 47,000,000 results. Banc only returns 866,000.

Obviously, bancs are only a mere imposter and wish to take your money.

maybe language is evolving, soon the 's' sound of a 'c' will be gone, and it will be entirley a 'k' sound, whilst 'k' drops out of use.

Hm, it's a long time since I last tried out posting at Poly with Lynx... let's see if it works.

Did you know that there are no such things as hard discs? A CD is a disc, but a HD is a disk. Floppies are diskettes or disks. I don't know if any of this is supposed to make sense, it certainly doesn't to me.
