In the interactive console,  place your mouse over the Variables icon.  In the information window that appears,  the second sentence is missing a space between the words: "explore" and "their."

There are also some other missing spaces in that tool tip, and a typo "You can also can access..."

The spacing issues are not typos, they are an anti-aliasing issue (font kerning). Will look into changing the font settings to see if we can get some better spacing.

Previous versions of PSP also had some spacing issues, but in different tool tips. I remember talking with Tobias about them, and he did some changes to make them more readable. The typo I'm referring to is double "can" in "You can also can access..."

The font was Tahoma for the tooltips in the Console toolbar which does not always kern particularly well. Changed it to Segoe UI which seems to look better. The grammar has been fixed as well.
