 it on. It can be turned on using the parser configuration process discussed earlier or
 via a system property when SpEL usage is embedded inside another component. This section

 Is is important to understand that there are a few modes the compiler can operate in, captured
 in an enum (`org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelCompilerMode`). The modes are as follows:
 
-- `OFF` - the compiler is switched off, this is the default.
+- `OFF` - The compiler is switched off; this is the default.
 - `IMMEDIATE` - In immediate mode the expressions are compiled as soon as possible. This
 is typically after the first interpreted evaluation. If the compiled expression fails
 (typically due to a type changing, as described above) then the caller of the expression
