 - [ ] The code changes follow [NCO's EE2 Standards](https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/idsb/implementation_standards/ImplementationStandards.v11.0.0.pdf).
 - [ ] Developer's name is removed throughout the code and have used `${USER}` where necessary throughout the code.
 - [ ] References the feature branch for `HOMEevs` are removed from the code.
 - [ ] J-Job environment variables, COMIN and COMOUT directories, and output follow what has been [defined](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JWg_4q80aYmmAoD21GFjp9R9y5-3w7WGM3-0HJk0Pjs/edit#heading=h.7ysbr191vzu4) for EVS.
 - [ ] Jobs over 15 minutes in runtime have restart capability.
 - [ ] If applicable, changes in the `dev/drivers/scripts` or `dev/modulefiles` have been made in the corresponding `ecf/scripts` and `ecf/defs/evs-nco.def`? 
-- [ ] Jobs contain the approriate file checking and don't run METplus for any missing data.
+- [ ] Jobs contain the appropriate file checking and don't run METplus for any missing data.
 - [ ] Code is using METplus wrappers structure and not calling MET executables directly.
