-`sentryecho` attaches an instance of `*sentry.Hub` (https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/getsentry/sentry-go#Hub) to the `echo.Context`, which makes it available throughout the rest of the request's lifetime.
+`sentryecho` attaches an instance of `*sentry.Hub` (https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/getsentry/sentry-go#Hub) to the `*echo.Context`, which makes it available throughout the rest of the request's lifetime.
 You can access it by using the `sentryecho.GetHubFromContext()` method on the context itself in any of your proceeding middleware and routes.
 And it should be used instead of the global `sentry.CaptureMessage`, `sentry.CaptureException` or any other calls, as it keeps the separation of data between the requests.
