[Bug 830685] Re: Disk check message has inconsistent spelling: "disk" and "disc".

[ingo]

That's really peanuts compared to what Lucid outputs during boot (often
hidden behind fancy plymouth):

I have seen Eastern Europe characters, even changing to normal codepage
(Western Europe) while booting up. Just now I caught a screenshot where
German word "Blöcke" was displayed as "Bl ...cke", see attached picture.
But display of non-ASCII characters may change - depending on phase of
moon?

Title:
  Disk check message has inconsistent spelling: "disk" and "disc".

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
  mountall version: 2.15.3

  During the routine disk check when booting the system, the message for
  the user begins:

  "Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some time
  Checking disc 1 of 1"

  The first line uses "disk" but the second uses "disc". This is
  inconsistent. One spelling should be used in both instances. I suggest
  the "disk" spelling for both, since "disc" usually seems to refer to
  optical media.
