First sentence under "Façade for fetching a property or calling a method"

"When a value can be readily calculated or obtained each time it is needed, it often makes for simpler syntax to express it as a read-only computed variable, which effectively acts a shorthand for a longer expression."

Seems like there is an "s" missing in this phrase: " . . . acts a shorthand for . . . " That maybe should be " . . . acts as shorthand for . . ."

Enjoying the book. Thanks and good luck!

Note from the Author or Editor:
Very sharp eyes! Should actually be "as a".

Absolutely true, many thanks.

2nd paragraph on section KVC and Outlets

"When the nib loads, the outlet name "master" is translated though key–value coding to the accessor method name setMaster:"
Here "though" is a typo and should be "through".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Exactly so.
