One nit: in a couple of places you have lines that start with punctuation. These always happen after a code box. One is ', for lower- and uppercase characters you'd' and another is '. The other shorthands can be complemented by'.
Thanks for catching those. You found the reason, too- it's the same think when I use LaTeX: I tend to proofread the source rather than the final, rendered text, which leads to punctuation remaining after codeblocks (in forums) or equation blocks (in LaTeX).

I should probably change that habit and proofread the finished, rendered text instead...
