"Sync" or "Synch"

[BasharOfTheAges]

I keep wavering back and forth and see others spelling it both ways (in the forums, in the different guides, on different dictionary websites, etc.)... which is more correct (if either)? I kinda have this MEP - so I wanted it right in the title and all...

[Tsunami Jones]

I don't think either one is particularly correct, but personally, I've always preferred Synch over Sync, as sync has seemed sorta trashy to me (perhaps because of a certain band )

[Shazzy]

Sync is the preferred spelling, but synch is a viable alternative according to the dictionary.

[Scintilla]

Well, if you want the EXTREME version, you gotta go with Sync.

I believe it's short for "synchronization," correct? Which has an 'h' in it. And who's to tell you how to abbreviate, so long as people understand? I personally use "sync" because it's shorter and phonetically appropriate. And I am master grammatician, so do what I do. And stuff.

I think Sync is the correct way to do it, but I always spell it Synch. -shrug-
(In other words, I agree with Flint)

english is just confusing like that hun. Pick most other languages and there is just one spelling and one way to say something

[Inaaca]

"synch" makes a different sound in my head.. I prefer "sync."

[Ayanefan]

Synch, the proper British English.
