To be more concise and minimize the number of threads, I grouped the suggested corrections into one post.

A few notes on how I structured this post:

- Corrections are ordered by page number.
- All page references are for the PDF edition.
- Modified words or sentences are highlighted in bold when appropriate.

On page 3,

> “…reading the code in ghci can start be a drag…”

should be

> “…reading the code in ghci can start **to** be a drag…”

On page 4,

> “…in the next chaper on page 25…”

should be

> “…in the next **chapter** on page 25…”

On page 8,

> “In this book we’ll use “anonymous function” consistenly.”

should be

> “In this book we’ll use “anonymous function” **consistently**.”

On page 10,

> “Operators, like (\*) and (\<\>) are just functions…”

should be

> “Operators, like (\*) and (\<\>), are just functions…”

(note: I added a comma after the closing parenthesis before “are”)

On page 15,

> “…we can create mutliple local variables…”

should be

> “…we can create **multiple** local variables…”

On page 17,

> “Later on in on page 41 you’ll learn…”

should be

> “Later on in page 41 you’ll learn…”

or maybe

> “Later on page 41 you’ll learn…”

On page 22,

> “The factorial function is a simiple function that…”

should be

> “The factorial function is a **simple** function that…”
