Diving into Redis for the first time and noticed some grammatical errors in the documentation. Granted the project has Italian roots (ESL), but I thought it may be worthwhile to point out a few of them so they can be improved for future readers:

http://redis.io/topics/data-types

**Strings**

"instance yo can" -> "instance _you_ can" (typo)

**Lists**

"inserts a new element on head/tail" -> "inserts a new element on _the_ head/tail" (common noun)
"one of this operations" -> "one of _these_ operations" (plural)
"This is a very handy semantics" -> "_These are_ very handy semantics" (plural)
"The main features .. is the" -> "The main features .. _are_ the" (plural)

**Sets**

"adding an members" -> "adding a member" (singular) or "adding members" (plural)

**Sorted sets**

"where you every everything you need" -> "where you _can store(?)_ everything you need" (mistake)
"you can do with great performances a lot of tasks" -> "you can do a lot of tasks _with great performance_" (ordering)
"All this fast" -> "All _very_ fast" (how fast?)
"having as (the) score the age of the user" -> "having _the score as_ the age of the user" or "having the age of the user _as the score_" (ordering)
"as (the) value the ID of the user" -> "having _the value as_ the ID of the user" or "having the ID of the user _as the value_" (ditto)

Look forward to using Redis. :)
