 ### Added
 - `UISref` and `UISrefActive` properly copy over all props and class names of thir children, adding more flexibility for the user.
-- `UIView` rendered component exposes two props from the router: `resolves` and `transition`. They act as an injected dependecy of the state-component, and are used to interact with the router itself.
+- `UIView` rendered component exposes two props from the router: `resolves` and `transition`. They act as an injected dependency of the state-component, and are used to interact with the router itself.
 - `UIView` registers as `onBefore` hook the `uiCanExit` method of the component instance it renders.
 - `UISrefActive`: by passing a `extact={true}` props it will only activate when the exact target state used in the `UISref` is active.
 - `html5Mode` added to UIRouterReact class for using `pushStateLocation` instead of `hashLocation` as history strategy (WARNING: This is a temporary api and will likely change in the future)
