Subject: Arc versus Ark - Which one is correct...

Just a little clarification for everyone:

Arc:
1. Something shaped like a curve or arch: the vivid arc of a rainbow.
2. Mathematics. A segment of a circle.
3. An electric arc.
4. Astronomy. The apparent path of a celestial body as it rises above and falls below the horizon.


Ark:
1. often Ark Bible. The chest containing the Ten Commandments written on stone tablets, carried by the Hebrews during their desert wanderings. Also called Ark of the Covenant.
2. often Ark Judaism. The Holy Ark.
3. Bible. The boat built by Noah for survival during the Flood.
4. Nautical. A large, commodious boat.
5. A shelter or refuge.



The best definition that I've found (in my opinion):
Arks are vessels that preserve the divine against the dangers of the fallen world

So, in the context of the game "Ark" is clearly the correct word.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

It's Ark. Turn the subtitles on in Halo 2, complete the game, and you will see.

This thread is over now I think...

In all variations of the game, the word Ark is spelt with a K in the subtitles. End of.
