Effective Haskell: typos, grammar, and punctuation (Chapter 1 - pdf B1.0)

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…”
