 	An explanation is required of what <classname>TableMapReduceUtil</classname> is doing, especially with the reducer.  
 	<link xlink:href="http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/mapreduce/TableOutputFormat.html">TableOutputFormat</link> is being used
 	as the outputFormat class, and several parameters are being set on the config (e.g., TableOutputFormat.OUTPUT_TABLE), as
-	well as setting the reducer output keys to <classname>ImmutableBytesWritable</classname> and <classname>Writable</classname>.
+	well as setting the reducer output key to <classname>ImmutableBytesWritable</classname> and reducer value to <classname>Writable</classname>.
 	These could be set by the programmer on the job and conf, but <classname>TableMapReduceUtil</classname> tries to make things easier.    
 	<para>The following is the example mapper, which will create a <classname>Put</classname> and matching the input <classname>Result</classname>
 	and emit it.  Note:  this is what the CopyTable utility does.
