What is the correct spelling, I see both all over the place.

How about those plastic things I put into my computer disc or disk?

I believe it’s “disque.”

I thought it was either (pronounced either long “i” sound or long “e” sound).

I’d recommend you ride a bike instead.

If you’re forced to use a disc, i think its a disk.

I think it is either, but you better not put them tyres on a disc.

Xdisphque

Preoperly, its: disq.

I crashed my bike a few years ago and hurt a disc in my lower back as a result. The disc was bulged for a while, but anti-inflammatories helped a lot. I would not recommend hurting your disc. Hurts like the dickens.
