Some minor fixes
I just noted that the example claiming that (add 10) is the same as (+10) was wrong. (A detail - it should be (10+) to match the argument order.) Then I just continued down making a few similar fixes and terminology updates. /Patrik PS. I've been teaching [Advanced Functional Programming](http://www.cse.chalmers.se/edu/course/afp/) (in Haskell) for a few years at Chalmers.
