 ## Feature Tasks
 #### Greet Module
 Create a NodeJS module in the lib/ directory named `greet.js` that exports a single function. 
-* The `greet` function should have a single parameter (arity of one) that should expect a string as it's input
+* The `greet` function should have a single parameter (arity of one) that should expect a string as its input
 * The `greet` function should return the input name, concatenated with "hello ": eg. ("hello susan")
 * The `greet` function should return `null` if the input is not a string
 
 #### Arithmetic Module
-Create a NodeJS module in the lib/ directory named `arithmetic.js` that exports an object. This module should have `add` and `sub` methods that implament addition and subtraction.  
-* The `add` method should have an arity of two (define two paramiters)

 ## Documentation  
-In your README.md describe the exported values of each module defined in your lib/ directory. Every function description should include it's airty (expected number of paramiters), the expected data for each paramiter (data-type and limitations), and it's behavior (for both valid and invalued use). Feel free to write any additional information in your README.md.
