 Note that it is possible to call functions via the @code{symbol_ref}
 mechanism to compute the length of an insn.  However, if you use this
 mechanism you must provide dummy clauses to express the maximum length
-without using the function call.  You can an example of this in the
+without using the function call.  You can see an example of this in the
 @code{pa} machine description for the @code{call_symref} pattern.
 
 The following macros can be used to refine the length computation:
