"overwriting any character previously painter"

I believe it should be

"overwriting any character previously painted"

Also this is my first issue so if I made any mistakes please tell me.
I am using Google Chrome 84.0.4147.135 (Official Build) (64-bit) but this shouldn't affect anything.

Karthikeyan, I went ahead and merged and closed this trivial fix because I could not imagine any reason to hold it up.
