 ### Specification
 
 The idea is to specify the behaviour of this binary very _strict_, so that other
-node implementors can build replicas based on their own state-machines, and the
+node implementers can build replicas based on their own state-machines, and the
 state generators can swap between a \`geth\`-based implementation and a \`parityvm\`-based
 implementation.
