 Hello,

 I ran `ghci`at the command line and then `:?` and saw a typo in this line
 :

   :sprint [<name> ...]        simplifed version of :print

 (I expected 'simplified' instead of 'simplifed').

 Also, the line just above uses the present tense when the other lines use
 the imperative :

    :print [<name> ...]         prints a value without forcing its
 computation

 A search on github (
 https://github.com/ghc/ghc/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=simplifed ) tells me
 the typo is probably still in the project source.
