Description Iván Alemán 2013-08-27 14:30:00 UTC 
Reading through the Handbook on:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disk-organization.html

The URL points to section "4.5 Disk Organization" in which between the "Partition | Convention" and the "Table 4.1. Disk Device Codes" there is this paragraph with a typo, the paragraph in question is:

"Disks in FreeBSD are divided into slices, referred to in Windows® as partitions, which are numbered from 1 to 4. These are then then divided into partitions, which contain file systems, and are labeled using letters."

The typo is that the word "then" after the first dot (.) is repeated twice which causes to misread the sentence.

Fix: 

Deleting one of the "then" words will fix the sentence, which should read like this:

"Disks in FreeBSD are divided into slices, referred to in Windows® as partitions, which are numbered from 1 to 4. These are then divided into partitions, which contain file systems, and are labeled using letters."
How-To-Repeat: Go to:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disk-organization.html

Find the following paragraph:

"Disks in FreeBSD are divided into slices, referred to in Windows® as partitions, which are numbered from 1 to 4. These are then then divided into partitions, which contain file systems, and are labeled using letters."

Reading the paragraph, notice that the word "then" which is repeated twice. This glitch is found after the first dot (.) at the start of the sentence.
