Description

[Josh Watson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091204 Thunderbird/3.0

In the GB localisation of Thunderbird there are options for "Disc Space" (under Local Folders in the "Account Settings" window) and "Network & Disc Space" (under "Advanced" in the "Options" dialog).

The correct term is either Disk (short for Diskette) (for a Hard Disk) or Drive (if we were saving to a Hard Disk/Drive or a Solid State Drive).

Disc would only be used if data was to be saved to a disc (i.e. a CD or DVD).

This should be changed to either "Disk Space" or "Drive Space"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one of the above windows
Actual Results:  
Incorrect spelling is encountered

Expected Results:  
Correct spelling is displayed

Disk - disc is an alternative spelling - not the usual one:
