 First, an initial entropy of ENT bits is generated. A checksum is generated by
 taking the first <pre>ENT / 32</pre> bits of its SHA256 hash. This checksum is
-appended to the end of the initial entropy. Next, these concatenated bits are
+appended to the end of the initial entropy. Next, these concatenated bits
 are split into groups of 11 bits, each encoding a number from 0-2047, serving
 as an index to a wordlist. Later, we will convert these numbers into words and
 use the joined words as a mnemonic sentence.
