   Brzozowski derivatives using bitcodes annotated to regular
   expressions.  Their algorithm generates POSIX values which encode
   the information of \emph{how} a regular expression matches a
   string---that is, which part of the string is matched by which part
-  of the regular expression.  The purpose of the bitcodes is to generate POSIX values incrementally while

+  The purpose of the bitcodes is to generate POSIX values incrementally while
   derivatives are calculated. They also help with designing
   an ``aggressive'' simplification function that keeps the size of

   paper we describe a variant of Sulzmann and Lu's algorithm: Our
