      Note that using backslash to escape embedded quotes requires
      additional special handling if an embedded quote is already
-     preceeded by backslash, or if an arg requiring quoting ends with
+     preceded by backslash, or if an arg requiring quoting ends with
      backslash.  In such cases, the run of escape characters needs to be
      doubled.  For consistency, we apply this special handling as long
      as the escape character is not quote.
