Minor typo in Help Center page "Guidelines for referencing and quoting"
What?
-
Typo in a Help Center page ["Guidelines for referencing and quoting"](https://meta.codidact.com/help/referencing)

Where?
-
In the first paragraph (the erroneous part has been bolded for the sake of this post):

> When you're writing a post, referencing and quoting external material is a great way to back up your posts, provide sources, and increase the quality of what you're writing. There are, however, **a few thing** to keep in mind when quoting external material.

On the last line, I believe it should be "a few things" since "a few" implies plurality but "thing" is singular.
