 Coroutines repositories are built on reactive repositories to expose the non-blocking nature of data access through Kotlin's Coroutines.
 Methods on a Coroutines repository can be backed either by a query method or a custom implementation.
-Invoking a custom implementation method propagates the Coroutines invocation to the actual implementation method if the custom method is `suspend`able without requiring the implementation method to return a reactive type such as `Mono` or `Flux`.
+Invoking a custom implementation method propagates the Coroutines invocation to the actual implementation method if the custom method is `suspend`-able without requiring the implementation method to return a reactive type such as `Mono` or `Flux`.
 
 NOTE: Coroutines repositories are only discovered when the repository extends the `CoroutineCrudRepository` interface.
