Small grammar fixes
With the years I have noticed a common confusion between the terms:- * Electronic
* Digital (something can be electronic but analogue instead digital)* Virtual (something can be defined virtual --- programmatic, but generally doesn't do anything with virtual entities --- software)- I have noticed this phenomenon in several general communications languages (mostly in Hebrew and English).
