I got tripped up by,

2.8 Plain lists
===============

Within an entry of the outline tree, hand-formatted lists can provide
additional structure.  They also provide a way to create lists of
checkboxes (*note Checkboxes::).  Org supports editing such lists, and
the HTML exporter (*note Exporting::) parses and formats them.

   Org knows ordered lists, unordered lists, and description lists.
   * _Unordered_ list items start with `-', `+', or `*'(1) as bullets.

   * _Ordered_ list items start with a numeral followed by either a
     period or a right parenthesis, such as `1.' or `1)'.

   * _Description_ list items are like unordered list items, but
     contain the separator ` :: ' to separate the description _term_
     from the description.

... this last item contains the phrase `are like'; wouldn't it read
clearer,

   * _Description_ list items are unordered list items, and contain the
     separator ` :: ' to separate the description _term_ from the
     description.
