 We welcome custom operators to RxJS if they make sense in the core RxJS, as opposed to belonging in user land.  There are a number of rules that must be adhered to when implementing a custom operator including:
 - Prefer composition over implementing a totally new operator from scratch
-- If the operator introduces any notion of concurrency, then a scheduler must introduced.  Usage of concurrency primitives such as `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, etc are forbidden.  This is to ensure easy testability.  
+- If the operator introduces any notion of concurrency, then a scheduler must be introduced.  Usage of concurrency primitives such as `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, etc are forbidden.  This is to ensure easy testability.  
   - The scheduler must be optional with the appropriate default picked
     - `Rx.Scheduler.immediate` for any immediate blocking operations
     - `Rx.Scheduler.currentThread` for any immediate blocking operators that require re-entrant behavior such as recursive scheduling.
