 %description
 i3status is a program for generating a status bar for i3bar, dzen2,
-xmobar or similar programs. It is issues a small number of system
+xmobar or similar programs. It issues a small number of system
 calls, as one generally wants to update such status lines every
 second so that the bar is updated even under load. It saves a bit of
 energy by being more efficient than shell commands.
