Looks interesting, but when did we start saying "synching" instead of "syncing"? I mean, its literally based on the idea behind rsync.
Why the sudden need to add an "h"?

- capableweb 4y agoIf by "we" you mean the internet, it seems most people still use "syncing" rather than "synching": https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=syncing,synching https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=syncing,... Still, "syncing" is supposed to be shorthand for "synchronizing", which has the "h" you feel comes out of nowhere. So I guess both makes sense, but I don't use that form myself nor have seen anyone else use it in the wild.

I get that the long version uses an h, but why include the silent h when making a shorthand? It sort of defeats the purpose of making a shorthand.
