commit to fix two minor typos

Fix two minor typos in the FreeBSD Handbook.

See attached patch.
Comment 1 Pau Amma 2021-01-15 16:51:58 UTC 
Whether it's "a SCSI interface" or "an SCSI interface" depends on taste, namely whether SCSI is read as something like "scuzzy" or as spelled, as "ess see ess eye". I couldn't find any guidance about that in my quick perusal of https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/writing-style.html, but my instinct tells me that it would best be based on how screenreaders render "SCSI". Unfortunately, I have no idea what they do. Does anyone know?

I agree with the other change, though.

Second part of the patch isn't correct: "a SCSI CD" is fine as is.
Comment 3 Andreas Bjørnestad 2021-01-16 20:39:32 UTC 
Yes, I see your point. I pronounce it "ess see ess eye", hence the change.
Comment 4 Guangyuan Yang freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-01-17 17:51:51 UTC 
Thanks PauAmma and Ceri, I believe it makes sense to make the first change and leave "a SCSI" as is.
