 one sorted by the $x$~coordinate, one by~$y$. Then we construct the $x$-tree.
 We find the point with median~$x$ coordinate in constant time. This point
 becomes the root of the $x$-tree. We recursively construct the left subtree
-from points which less than median $x$~coordinate --- we can construct the
+from points with less than median $x$~coordinate --- we can construct the
 corresponding sub-lists of both the $x$ and~$y$ list in $\O(n)$ time. We
 construct the right subtree similarly. Finally, we build the $y$-tree
 for the root: it contains all the points and we can build it from the $y$-sorted
