  • What's the difference between Banc and Bank?

    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.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              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.

                          there is a new bank which advertises on tv as America's (or was it People's) Banc with a -c. i forget what bank it was but the commercials are very common at least in philly.
