Spelling - "Please insert an USB stick"

Confirmed in Intrepid.

usb-creator version 0.1.10.

I believe this would be correct under American grammar....

My locale is GB ;)

The menu entry uses 'a': "a USB startup disk" as does the first paragraph "install Ubuntu from a USB disk".

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_and_an): "Ewe" and "user" have a preceding a because they are pronounced with an initial y consonant sound.

Try doing a search on google for "a USB" and "an USB" - "a USB" has nearly 20x the occurrences.

For what it's worth, it's incorrect grammar in American English as well. Fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package usb-creator - 0.1.12

  * Work around a long standing GTK label bug by using a Python version of
