Re: Man Page Typo (waitpid.2)?

Michael,
I'm going to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/waitpid.2.html
and after the word "calling"
I see the word "process"
but I expected to see the word "thread"
in the following sentences:
* The wait() system call suspends execution of the calling process
       until one of its children terminates.
* The waitpid() system call suspends execution of the calling process
       until a child specified by pid argument has changed state.
