@@ -315,7 +315,7 @@ The first parts of a new 2D drawing API has been added with the
 wx.GraphicsPath and wx.GraphicsContext classes.  They wrap GDI+ on
 Windows, Cairo on wxGTK and CoreGraphics on OS X, and allow path-based
 drawing with alpha-blending and anti-aliasing, and use a floating
-point cooridnant system.  Currently they can only target drawing to
+point cooridnate system.  Currently they can only target drawing to
 windows, but other wx.DC backends are forthcoming.  The APIs may
 evolve a bit more before they are finalaized with the 2.8 release, but
 there is enough there now to get a good feel for how things will work.
