Since the kernel has a fixed sized stack, it is important not to
-waste it in functions. A kernel developer must be conscience of
+waste it in functions. A kernel developer must be conscious of
what they allocate on the stack. If they add too much, the system
can be in danger of a stack overflow, and corruption will occur,
usually leading to a system panic.
