 Note: Windows types
 
 Windows' _read and _write have types that differ from POSIX. They take an
-unsigned int for lengh and return a signed int where POSIX uses size_t and
+unsigned int for length and return a signed int where POSIX uses size_t and
 ssize_t. Those are different on x86_64 and equivalent on x86. We import them
 with the types in Microsoft's documentation which means that c_read,
