 All datasets are subclasses of :class:`torch.utils.data.Dataset`
-i.e, they have ``__getitem__`` and ``__len__`` methods implemented.
+and have ``__getitem__`` and ``__len__`` methods implemented.
 Hence, they can all be passed to a :class:`torch.utils.data.DataLoader`
 which can load multiple samples parallelly using ``torch.multiprocessing`` workers.
