Experienced second-hand shame - 'poinson' distribution

Even I - a person so far from maths, know that poisson distribution is not a 'poison' distribution, spelled wrong. It's not pronounced 'poison', c'mon.

The Poisson distribution is named after French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson (/ˈpwɑːsɒn/; French pronunciation: [pwasɔ̃]). It plays an important role for discrete-stable distributions.

Hi Tetiana,
You're absolutely right. The voiceover person didn't do a great job here. Thanks for your understanding.
Best,
Ned
