=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.
Due to the interaction between runtime and compiletime issues,
and because it's probably not a very good idea anyway,
you may not use C<no diagnostics> to turn them off at compiletime.
-However, you may control there behaviour at runtime using the
+However, you may control their behaviour at runtime using the
disable() and enable() methods to turn them off and on respectively.
The B<-verbose> flag first prints out the L<perldiag> introduction before
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.

=head2 The I<splain> Program
While apparently a whole nuther program, I<splain> is actually nothing
insurmountable.
The C<-pretty> directive is called too late to affect matters.
