Research direction

Open the Spanish ellipseMode() reference at https://p5js.org/es/reference/p5/ellipseMode/ and locate the paragraph for the CORNERS mode. Correct the copied reference from ellipseMode(CORNER) to ellipseMode(CORNERS), then reload the page and verify the Spanish text matches the expected wording.

Steps to reproduce this
Steps:
  1. Go to the Spanish reference for ellipseMode: https://p5js.org/es/reference/p5/ellipseMode/
  2. Read the paragraph corresponding to the CORNERS mode.
  3. Notice that it incorrectly mentions ellipseMode(CORNER) instead of ellipseMode(CORNERS).
Snippet:

There is a typo/copy-paste error in the Spanish translation text.

  • Actual Text: "ellipseMode(CORNER) utiliza los dos primeros parámetros como la ubicación de una esquina del cuadro delimitador de la elipse. Los siguientes parámetros son la ubicación de la esquina opuesta."
  • Expected Text: "ellipseMode(CORNERS) utiliza los dos primeros parámetros como la ubicación de una esquina del cuadro delimitador de la elipse. Los siguientes parámetros son la ubicación de la esquina opuesta."
