 ## Overview
 
 List is implemented as a **linked list**, supporting O(1) head access.
-- Moonbit list is **homogenous** list, which means all elements in the list must be of the same type.
+- Moonbit list is **homogeneous** list, which means all elements in the list must be of the same type.
 - Moonbit list does not support random access well, you can only access elements by iterating through the list. If you need randomly access the nth element, you should use `Vec` instead.
 
 ## Usage

-### Patten matching
+### Pattern matching
 You can use pattern matching to destructure a list:
 ```moonbit
 let list = List::[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
