C5-C6 "disk flask osteophyte"??? TIA! :)

I work with an MT who insists that it is degenerative disk disease, but we have an ortho doctor who insists it is degenerative disc disease. He is so annoyed that in his latest dictation he says "humor me and just spell it d-i-s-c" and then proceeds to spell the word every single time he says it throughout the report.

ASR always used to type out PICC (not PIC) and disk (not disc). I just did a long report and throughout the report it had both disc and disk even in the same sentence.

Once upon a time, many years ago, I was taught "disk" for eye, "disc" for vertebrae. These days, QA is contraindicating themselves like crazy. If I type disc for vertebrae, they change it to disk. If I type disk for vertebrae, they change it to disc. What gives? Same goes for eye. This is driving me nuts. What do you do here? ...
