@@ -111,7 +111,7 @@ When you make a post to mailchimp, you need to pass merge_vars. For example, in
 settings on the mailchimp website, the following call adds a member to a list (with a little more info than our bare minimum example up there)::
 
     list = mailchimp.utils.get_connection().get_list_by_id(<The list's key ID>)
-    list.subscribe('example@example.com', {'EMAIL': 'example@example.com', 'FNAME': 'Monthy', 'LNAME': 'Pyhtons'})
+    list.subscribe('example@example.com', {'EMAIL': 'example@example.com', 'FNAME': 'Monthy', 'LNAME': 'Pythons'})
 
 Note the use of the 'tag' field as the key for fields (why they didn't call it 'key' or 'id' is beyond comprehension).
