 //! This is the actual "grammar" of the Rust language.

 //! Each function in this module and its children corresponds
-//! to a production of the format grammar. Submodules roughly
+//! to a production of the formal grammar. Submodules roughly
 //! correspond to different *areas* of the grammar. By convention,
