 =head2 The C<diagnostics> Pragma
 
 This module extends the terse diagnostics normally emitted by both the
-perl compiler and the perl interpeter, augmenting them with the more
+perl compiler and the perl interpreter, augmenting them with the more
 explicative and endearing descriptions found in L<perldiag>.  Like the
 other pragmata, it affects the compilation phase of your program rather
 than merely the execution phase.

 any other diagnostics.  The $diagnostics::PRETTY variable can generate nicer
 escape sequences for pagers.
 
+Warnings dispatched from perl itself (or more accurately, those that match
+descriptions found in L<perldiag>) are only displayed once (no duplicate
+descriptions).  User code generated warnings ala warn() are unaffected,
+allowing duplicate user messages to be displayed.
