A correction of the VASP WIKI page for the IMAGES flag.

To whom it may concern,

Please correct a typo on the VASP WIKI page for the IMAGES flag. https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/IMAGES

The word "we" in the following text from this page should be changed to the word "few".

"If this problem is encountered, a very low dimensionality parameter (IBRION=1, NFREE=2) should be applied in the first we steps, or a steepest descent minimization without line optimization (IBRION=3, SMASS=2). should be used, to pre-converge the images."

The corrected text should read: "If this problem is encountered, a very low dimensionality parameter (IBRION=1, NFREE=2) should be applied in the first few steps, or a steepest descent minimization without line optimization (IBRION=3, SMASS=2). should be used, to pre-converge the images."

By the way, I appreciate the recent updates to the VASP WIKI!
