Public bug reported:

In the desktop help (development version - and very likely 16.10 too)
the terminology for USB flash drive is inconsistent. For example:

disk-format.html refers to "USB memory stick"
files-share.html refers to "USB flash drive"
backup-where.html refers to "USB memory key"
backup-why.html refers to "USB drive"
etc

This is confusing for users. I suggest we use just the most common term
("USB flash drive"?) and not give any of the synonyms.

Wikipedia seems to favour "USB flash drive":
