Summary: typo in section nine of tutorial

Initial Comment:
The Tutorial, in section nine titled "Computers and numbers", at http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/Tcl6a.html, contains the following text:

----
What this means in practical terms, is that a floating-point number can be as a 1 followed by 300 zeros or as small as 0.0000...1 (where "..." stands for 295 zeros). 
----

Looks like it should be "can be as large as a", is missing the word "large".

Message:
ok, it's actually missing two words: "as large" or "large as".
