Research direction

The typo is in the example line quoted in the title, $TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Hours 1 -Minutes 25 $TimeSpan, which has a stray trailing $TimeSpan. Open reference/7.6/Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility/New-TimeSpan.md, find that example, and remove the extra token. The body is mostly unrelated boilerplate, so rely on the title and the linked source file. Done when the example reads as a valid assignment and the change is confined to that file.
