Errors in the Steem White Paper: have you read it?!

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and get my hands on the paper, so, after having it printed, I got on reading it. Conclusion: despite being an interesting technical read, I couldn't help but notice all the small mistakes it had.

Even more, so many people wrote it, a total of 6, and it probably took weeks (or months) of work and yet, they can't ask a person they know to read a 44 page paper? Furthermore, has the Steem community not even noticed this because none of us has read it? I suppose this might have happened. Either way, this is the Steem community noticing mistakes in the paper, as I am part of it!

Without further ado, here are the mistakes I found:

Page 7: (missing "with" after "associated")

and opportunity costs associated traditional micropayment.

Page 21: (missing "a" after "on")

Consensus is the process by which a community comes to a universally recognized, unambiguous agreement on piece of information.

Page 33: (missing "to" after "right")

committing to hold them long enough to gain the right use it once.

Page 36: (missing "than" after "rather")

the result is similar to having a 2:1 "split" every year rather true inflation.

Page 39: (I'd add a comma after "Collectively", personally)

Collectively all holders of SP will lose at most 0.009 STEEM.

In the end, I suppose it might have been rushed to get it out of the door as soon as possible? Can you find any additional mistakes in the paper so we can fix it once and for all?
