>Description:
I have found two typos in Articles > Design elements of the FreeBSD VM system (vm-design).

The first one is in section 2 VM Objects.
There is one extra right parenthesis at the end of the sentence: "The original page in B is now completely hidden since both C1 and C2 have a copy and B could theoretically be destroyed if it does not represent a “real” file)."

The second one is in section 9 Bonus QA session by Allen Briggs, question 9.5. Finally, in the page coloring section, it might help to have a little more description of what you mean here. I did not quite follow it.
In the sentence "If you access offset 0 in main memory and then offset offset 128K in main memory you can wind up throwing away the cached data you read from offset 0!" there is one extra word offset.

>Fix:
Change:

The original page in B is now completely hidden since both C1 and C2 have a copy and B could theoretically be destroyed if it does not represent a “real” file).

To:

The original page in B is now completely hidden since both C1 and C2 have a copy and B could theoretically be destroyed if it does not represent a “real” file.

And:

If you access offset 0 in main memory and then offset offset 128K in main memory you can wind up throwing away the cached data you read from offset 0!

To:

If you access offset 0 in main memory and then offset 128K in main memory you can wind up throwing away the cached data you read from offset 0!
