@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ LAMMPS makes extensive use of the object oriented programming (OOP)
principles of *compositing* and *inheritance*. Classes like the
``LAMMPS`` class are a **composite** containing pointers to instances
of other classes like ``Atom``, ``Comm``, ``Force``, ``Neighbor``,
``Modify``, and so on. Each of these classes implement certain
``Modify``, and so on. Each of these classes implements certain
functionality by storing and manipulating data related to the
simulation and providing member functions that trigger certain
actions. Some of those classes like ``Force`` are themselves
