    The :method:`cursor.skip()` method is often expensive because it requires
    the server to walk from the beginning of the collection or index to
    get the offset or skip position before beginning to return
-   result. As offset (e.g. ``pageNumber`` above) increases,
+   results. As the offset (e.g. ``pageNumber`` above) increases,
    :method:`cursor.skip()` will become slower and more CPU intensive. With
    larger collections, :method:`cursor.skip()` may become IO bound.
