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

[Patrick Wigmore]

Public bug reported:

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.
