The first note below “Note some things” states “we choose an explicit modifier article.is_small to …”. The modifier is actually named “is_summary” in the stylesheet above it.

16TYPO

In the second phrase, “We feel that a lof of this criticism is misplaced.”, “lot” is mistyped.

5SUGGEST

This sentence in the intro is awkward: But do avoid fat models.

The sentiment is correct but the wording is not quite right.

35SUGGEST

This two sentences are awkward. “You will” followed by a “we encountered.” Plus, it can be taken the wrong way.

“Unfortunately you will find many of those solutions to be lacking in practice. Here are some problems we encountered.”

To be less controversial, I would change the “you” to a “we.”

Unfortunately we found many of those solutions to be lacking in practice. Here are some problems we encountered

81TYPO

“you should make it as easy is possible for your colleagues” should be “you should make it as easy AS possible for your colleagues”

40TYPO

“[…] you should not OBJECT your class to the constraints that the ActiveModel API forces upon you.”

Should read “you should not SUBJECT your class…”.

60TYPO

“To show the application BEM with a larger, practical example […]”

Should read:

“To show the application of BEM with a larger, practical example […]”
