What the title says. It's just a small typographical error fix, so I don't think the template content is needed.

Thanks! However, you seem to have signed it as if you were invited by the Steering Group. I'm sorry if you got the impression I am the Steering Group, but that is not the case. Instead just sign it as an individual. Sorry that this is such a hassle for a simple typo fix!

From https://whatwg.org/sg-agreement:

"Steering Group" means all Steering Group Members.

Each party to this Agreement is a "Steering Group Member"; collectively, the Steering Group Members constitute the "Steering Group" of the WHATWG.

That would mean you have not signed the agreement.

I was confused by the only alternative to "being invited by the Steering Group":

I represent that I do not work in the field of web technologies as an employee, contractor, or agent of another person or legal entity, and make this Agreement in my personal capacity only.

Because, in fact, my employer is in the field of web technologies, and that is what I do, but this PR is completely unrelated to my employment and is the result of a personal project I have conducted.

Ah. In that case you need your employer to sign the contribution, regardless of whether you are contributing to a personal project or not.

Just be sure you are using the full definition linked above, including

"Field of Web Technologies" means the field of creating and influencing web standards and web technologies that could be adopted by the web community. "Field of web technologies" does not include implementation of web standards solely for the purpose of creating a website or app.

What a misleading name; thanks for pointing this out. I read the "work in the field of web technologies" paragraph and didn't even think that the field of web technologies could actually mean standardization of web technologies. I guess in that case I don't work in the field of web technologies. Signed.

Thanks for sticking with us! It's frustrating that simple fixes take this much process, so I really appreciate you not giving up. Any future fixes from you will be easy to accept, at least!

I'll file an issue to see if we can get the misleading wording updated.
