 ----------------------
 
 Twisted's reactor and eventlet's hub are very similar in what they do.
-Both continuously preform polling on the list of registered descriptors
+Both continuously perform polling on the list of registered descriptors
 and each time a specific event is fired, the associated callback function
 is called. In addition, both maintain a list of scheduled calls.
 
 Polling is performed by the main loop - a function that both reactor and hub have.
 When twisted calls user's callback it's expected to return almost immediately,

 Eventlet runs the main loop in a dedicated greenlet (MAIN_LOOP). It is the same
 greenlet as MAIN if you use join_reactor. Otherwise it's a separate greenlet
