It also has a 'sync' in it before the 'h'

Ok, that was one of the assumptions i made... British vs American English spelling - if that's true it explains it, thanks.

Right, which is why I say 'sync' and why I was defending both spellings. I consider abbreviations in general to be informal and thus flexible. The point is to be short while still making sense, and I don't know many people that get confused by 'synch'.

the REALLY important question is:

Do we care? Personally i prefer synch, but i could care less what others call it.

Hell yes we care!

It's easy. It's n'sync.

Or, my real answer: SYNC (Because it's easier to type)

In the communications work I've done, I've mostly seen sync when writing synchronization in shorthand in regards to timing of data/voice trunks.
