.TP
.B checkpoint <kbyte> <min>
Specify the frequency for checkpointing the database transaction
-log upon updating of the database. A checkpointing flushes the
+log upon updating of the database. A checkpoint flushes the
database buffers to disk and writes a checkpoint record in the log.
Upon a database update, a checkpoint will occur if either <kbyte>
data has been written or <min> minutes have passed since the last
checkpoint. Both arguments default to zero, in which case they are
ignored. Note: checkpointing by this directive occurs only upon execution of
-a database update. If one desires checkpoinging to occur otherwise,
-db_checkpoint(1) or other external process should be used to cause
+a database update. If one desires checkpointing to occur otherwise,
+db_checkpoint(1) or some other external process should be used to cause
a database checkpoint to be taken. See the Berkeley DB reference
guide for more details.
