| Oct 30, 2020 at 15:36 | comment | added | loopywolf | Both are in the dictionary, however, between sync and synch, I prefer sync, because the trailing 'c' feels better with the hard-k sound. Synch always feels like it is a 'ch' sound not a 'k' sound, and some people pronounce it "cinch." Between synced and synched I don't like either. synced looks like it would be pronounced "sin-sd" and synched looks like "cinched" (what you do with a belt.) I tend to write it sync-ed, but that's just me. | |

| Dec 19, 2016 at 12:56 | comment | added | Hot Licks | This has been an ongoing battle since the 70s, at least. The terms are mostly used in computer and electronics contexts, where forming abbreviations is a common (and necessary) activity. Many, including myself, prefer "sync", in large part because an annoying number of people tend to pronounce "synch" as "cinch". But both are fairly common. | |

| Jan 25, 2016 at 18:10 | comment | added | user428517 | @Rossitten i have a different take. the shortened verb is sync not synch. to me, sync is what you're conjugating, so synced makes the most sense. it's also shorter, which i tend to prefer by default. | |

| Dec 1, 2015 at 20:48 | comment | added | Rossitten | since the word is the short form for "synchronization" I'd suggest to analyze the word's morphology: syn- "together" (see syn-) + khronos "time" (see chrono-). so the second word's TWO LETTERS form /k/ sound ("ch" = "k") and thus - I believe the use of "synched" would be logically correct | |
