-As is wellknown, the Jacobi method\index{iterative method!Jacobi} is characterized
+As is well-known, the Jacobi method\index{iterative method!Jacobi} is characterized
by a slow convergence\index{convergence} rate compared to some iterative methods\index{iterative method}
(for example, Gauss-Seidel method\index{iterative method!Gauss-Seidel}). So, in this
section, we present some solutions to reduce the execution time and the number of
we apply the point red-black ordering\index{iterative method!red-black ordering}
accordingly to the $y$-coordinate, as is shown in Figure~\ref{ch13:fig:06.02}. In
this case, the vector elements having even $y$-coordinate are computed in parallel
-using the values of those having odd $y$-coordinate and then viceversa. Moreover,
+using the values of those having odd $y$-coordinate and then vice-versa. Moreover,
in the GPU implementation of the parallel projected Richardson method (Section~\ref{ch13:sec:04}),
we have shown that a subproblem of size $(NX\times ny\times nz)$ is decomposed into
$nz$ grids of size $(NX\times ny)$. Then, each kernel is executed in parallel by
