Description
A minor text change to remove two instances of where the exclusive word "normal" is used on screen output.
A separate ticket will be logged for changing the use of this word in comments (which is a much bigger ask).

- Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 5.5
Thanks for the patches!
The new Site Health strings in 50549.diff do seem like an improvement.
I'm less sure about 50549-2.diff. Could you clarify what's wrong with "your site will return to normal"?

Thanks for the question.
Let me give an example. What if the upgrade breaks something? It won't return to how it was before, which is what most people might define as "normal". Instead, this wording clarifies exactly what it means - that once it's complete, maintenance mode will be switched off.
Apart from the fact that "normal" is generally seen as a troublesome word, in this case it's suggesting more than it can promise.
This is my first attempt at providing diff changes, so apologies if there is any issue with this - happy for guidance and to add any required changes.
