 `ipfsd-ctl` can spawn `disposable` and `non-disposable` daemons.
 
 - `disposable`- Creates on a temporary repo which will be optionally initialized and started (the default), as well cleaned up on process exit. Great for tests.
-- `non-disposable` - Requires the user to initialize and start the node, as well as stop and cleanup after wards. Additionally, a non-disposable will allow you to pass a custom repo using the `repoPath` option, if the `repoPath` is not defined, it will use the default repo for the node type (`$HOME/.ipfs` or `$HOME/.jsipfs`). The `repoPath` parameter is ignored for disposable nodes, as there is a risk of deleting a live repo.
+- `non-disposable` - Non disposable daemons will by default attach to any nodes running on the default or the supplied repo. Requires the user to initialize and start the node, as well as stop and cleanup after wards. Additionally, a non-disposable will allow you to pass a custom repo using the `repoPath` option, if the `repoPath` is not defined, it will use the default repo for the node type (`$HOME/.ipfs` or `$HOME/.jsipfs`). The `repoPath` parameter is ignored for disposable nodes, as there is a risk of deleting a live repo.
 
 ## Batteries not included. Bring your own IPFS executable.

 `ipfsd-ctl` can spawn `disposable` and `non-disposable` daemons.
 
 - `disposable`- Creates on a temporary repo which will be optionally initialized and started (the default), as well cleaned up on process exit. Great for tests.
-- `non-disposable` - Non disposable daemons will by default attach to any nodes running on the default or the supplied repo. Requires the user to initialize and start the node, as well as stop and cleanup after wards. Additionally, a non-disposable will allow you to pass a custom repo using the `repoPath` option, if the `repoPath` is not defined, it will use the default repo for the node type (`$HOME/.ipfs` or `$HOME/.jsipfs`). The `repoPath` parameter is ignored for disposable nodes, as there is a risk of deleting a live repo.
