some refinements in the plugin

@@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Have a look at the section under `/src/experiment` and `/src/plugins`:
 - `src/plugins/typeInferPlugin.ts` is the actual plugin
 - in `tsconfig.json` we configure TypeScript to run the plugin
 - `src/experiment/arithmeticInfer.ts` with an example where we define `__infer__`
-- `build/experiment/arithmeticInfer.ts` where the `__infer__` string literal is replace with the actual types
+- after running TypeScript: look at `build/experiment/arithmeticInfer.ts` where the `__infer__` string literal is replaced with the actual types
