 // THE SOFTWARE.
 
 // Package observer provides a zapcore.Core that keeps an in-memory,
-// encoding-agnostic repesentation of log entries. It's useful for
+// encoding-agnostic representation of log entries. It's useful for
 // applications that want to unit test their log output without tying their
 // tests to a particular output encoding.
