Hello Francesco,

I noticed a minor spelling issue with ddrescue-1.26 in multiple places
(README, man page, info page, main.cc).  Basically, there are instances
of "hard disc" instead of "hard disk".  As far as I know, the term
"disc" is used with optical discs only, while "disk" is used for hard
disks (or floppy disks).

What do you think?

I think that English suffers from too many spelling issues. :-)

So in this case I chose "disc" (Latin "discus", Spanish "disco") which my dictionary says is equivalent to "disk".

For zgrep I chose "color" (Latin and Spanish "color") instead of "colour". Etc.

Best regards,
Antonio.
