Fix a typo

@@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ Altair is the first hard fork of the Ethereum beacon chain. Its main features ar
* "**Sync committees**", which allow light clients to easily sync up with the header chain with very low computational and data cost. The goal is to make a light client easy and efficient enough that it can be run inside any environment (mobile device, embedded hardware, browser extension, and even inside another smart-contract-capable blockchain)
* **Incentive accounting reforms**. This includes a few changes:
* Storing actions that were taken during the current and previous epoch in a more efficient bitfield format instead of storing `PendingAttestation` objects, reducing spec complexity
* Making the "inactivity leak" quadratic _per validator_ instead of quadratic globally, and in particular make it insignificant for validators that are participating >80% of the time. For example, pre-Altair, if a chain stops finalizing for 2 eeks, fully inactive validators lose ~11.8% of their balance and validators active 75% of the time lose ~3.1%. Post-Altair, the fully inactive validator's loss would be ~15.4% but the 75% active validator's loss would only be ~0.3%. This makes inactivity leaks more forgiving to honest-but-imperfect validators.

It is correct 2 eeks because we measure time in ETH with slots,epoch,eeks.
