 This approach had limitations that were holding back innovation in the
 computer architecture field. For example, there is no misspeculation path in
 an instruction trace and typically no data values. I was inspired by the
-execution-drive approach used in the Multiscalar simulator, but it was too
+execution-driven approach used in the Multiscalar simulator, but it was too
 closely tied to the Multiscalar architecture, which I wasn't working on. What
 I needed was something a little more simple than the Multiscalar simulator,
 hence the project named "SimpleScalar".
