Fixed some typos; changed @ to pie, as in 'pie' notation.

Thanks! I'm pulling these in internally and will include them in a future push.

I've never heard @ called pie notation so I'm letting the internet decide: https://twitter.com/gpshead/status/1136373118044217344

Okay, no problem. You see it used here, for example:

By the way, I thought you might like to see this:

typos and such have been integrated. the topic of pie is still open.

I think the history is clear in this regard -- it was called "pie syntax" as a tongue-in-cheek reference.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0318/#background Barry Warsaw named this the ‘pie-decorator’ syntax, in honor of the Pie-thon Parrot shootout which occurred around the same time as the decorator syntax, and because the @ looks a little like a pie.

https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecorators#A1._pie_decorator_syntax

all that said, I don't think the name has really stuck. everyone knows "decorator", and the Python manual itself doesn't mention pie.

• https://docs.python.org/2/glossary.html#term-decorator
• https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-decorator

so I'm inclined to not have the guide refer to it as "pie".
