[Bug 572016] Re: Disk check message is grammatically incorrect

[nstenz]

Yep, it's messed up all right. My patch said:
+		message = NIH_MUST (nih_strdup (NULL, _("Your disk drives are being checked for errors. This may take some time")));

The final patch says:
		message = NIH_MUST (nih_strdup (NULL, _("Checking disk drives are for errors. This may take several minutes.")));


So I'm guessing that "are" is left over from what I had written. Drop that and it's good. Patch attached.

** Patch added: "Patch to remove extraneous "are" from fsck message"

Title:
  Disk check message is grammatically incorrect

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  I got my first message that Ubuntu was checking my disk drives today.
  The message said "Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this
  may take some time"

  This is grammatically incorrect.  That message contains 2 separate
  statements thrown together with a comma and the second one has no end
  punctuation.  One possible solution would be to change it to "Your
  disk drives are being checked for errors.  This may take some time."
  I removed the comma, replaced it with a period, capitalized the "T" in
  "This" and added a period at the end of the second sentence.
