@@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ Returns a sequence whose elements are numbers. The single-argument
 case @scheme[(in-range end)] is equivalent to @scheme[(in-range 0 end
 1)].  The first number in the sequence is @scheme[start], and each
 successive element is generated by adding @scheme[step] to the
-previous element. The sequence starts before an element that would be
+previous element. The sequence stops before an element that would be
 greater or equal to @scheme[end] if @scheme[step] is non-negative, or
 less or equal to @scheme[end] if @scheme[step] is negative.
