@ -255,14 +255,14 @@ previous thirty years, it used a mechanism known as @dfn{source
properties}.
As Guile reads in Scheme code from file or from standard input, it can
record remembers the file name, line number and column number where each
record the file name, line number and column number where each
expression begins in a side table.
The way that source properties are stored means that Guile can only
associate source properties with freshly allocated objects. This
notably excludes individual symbols, keywords, characters, booleans, or
small integers. This limitation finally motivated the switch to
@code{read-syntax}.
The way that this side table associates datums with source properties
has a limitation, however: Guile can only associate source properties
with freshly allocated objects. This notably excludes individual
