Configuration files may include comments, prefixed by specific characters (``#``
and ``;``). Comments may appear on their own in an otherwise empty line, or may
-be entered in lines holding values or spection names. In the latter case, they
+be entered in lines holding values or section names. In the latter case, they
need to be preceded by a whitespace character to be recognized as a comment.
(For backwards compatibility, only ``;`` starts an inline comment, while ``#``
does not.)
