 ## 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.
