 LPE is a small, efficient programmer's editor for UNIX systems.  It has grown
 from the result of a single night of hacking into a very capable and very
-versatile editor that defines its own philosophy opf text editing.  That
+versatile editor that defines its own philosophy of text editing.  That
 philosophy is that awk and sed are the right tools for most advanced editing
 jobs, and a text editor should make simple operations easy and make text look
 good.
