+Topology is written for native GRASS vector format; in case of

+pseudo-topology (boundaries constructed from polygons) is written.
 
 The following rules apply to the vector data:
 
 - Boundaries should not cross each other (i.e., boundaries which would
   cross must be split at their intersection to form distict boundaries).
-  Lines can cross each other, e.g. bridges over rivers.
+  On the contrary, lines can cross each other, e.g. bridges over rivers.
 - Lines and boundaries share nodes only if their endpoints are identical.
-  Lines or boundaries canbe forced to share a common node by snapping
+  Lines or boundaries can be forced to share a common node by snapping
   them together. This is particulary important since nodes
   are not represented in the coor file, but only implicitly as
   endpoints of lines and boundaries.
