  * FAST_PWM_FAN_FREQUENCY [undefined by default]

  *   If left undefined this defaults to F = F_CPU/(2*255*1)
- *   ie F = 31.4 Khz on 16 MHz microcontrollers or F = 39.2 KHz on 20 MHz microcontrollers
+ *   i.e., F = 31.4kHz on 16MHz microcontrollers or F = 39.2kHz on 20MHz microcontrollers.
  *   These defaults are the same as with the old FAST_PWM_FAN implementation - no migration is required
  *   NOTE: Setting very low frequencies (< 10 Hz) may result in unexpected timer behavior.
