 .Sh SPLAY TREES
 A splay tree is a self-organizing data structure.
 Every operation on the tree causes a splay to happen.
-The splay moves the requested
-node to the root of the tree and partly rebalances it.
+The splay moves the requested node to the root of the tree and partly

 This has the benefit that request locality causes faster lookups as
 the requested nodes move to the top of the tree.
 On the other hand, every lookup causes memory writes.
