 # SHORT DESCRIPTION
 This PowerShell module contains commands that make it easier to work with type
 extensions. Many of these commands are wrappers for built-in tools like 
-Get-TypeData or Update-TypeData. The commands in this module simplfy the 
+`Get-TypeData` or `Update-TypeData`. The commands in this module simplify the 
 process of finding, creating, exporting and importing type extensions.

 If you always want these extensions you would have to put the commands into your PowerShell profile script. Or you can export the extensions to a json or xml file. You can either export all members or selected ones which is helpful if you are extending a type that already has type extensions from PowerShell.
