 # Contributing to Packer
 
 **First:** if you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or submit the
-issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at for giving your best
+issue or pull request anyway. You won't be yelled at for giving your best
 effort. The worst that can happen is that you'll be politely asked to change
 something. We appreciate any sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of
 rules to get in the way of that.
