Title:
  Please respect the meaning of the word "Eject"

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The current wording is incorrect as the term "Eject" indicates the
  media will be thrown out [1] (such as a CD).

  = SD CARD =
  Unity shows "Eject"
  Nautilus shows "Unmount"

  = USB DISK =
  Unity shows "Eject" and "Safely Remove Drive"
  Nautilus shows "Eject" and "Safely Remove Drive"

  Neither SD Card or USB Disk devices actually"Eject". What actually happens:
  SD - User inserts/clicks the card into reader. After **Unmounting** the card, the user must pull/click the card out
  USB - User inserts the drive into USB socket. After **Safely Removing** the drive, the user must pull the drive out

  Glosarry:
  Unmount - This option is available for those who want to unmount the media without ejecting it. For example, if you were going to reformat or to check the file system for errors.

  Eject - This option is available to any drive with an eject mechanism,
  such as floppy and CD. It allows you to eject the disc without having
  to touch the drive itself.

  Safely Remove - The option is to safely remove the media without
  ejecting it. The media will remain, but the computer will not know of
  its presence until removed and re-inserted.

  [1] eicio - From ē (“out of”), short form of ex, + iaciō (“throw,
  hurl”). http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eicio#Latin
