 The `"scripts"` property of your `package.json` file supports a number
 of built-in scripts and their preset life cycle events as well as
 arbitrary scripts. These all can be executed by running
-`npm run <stage>` or `npm run <stage>` for short. *Pre* and *post*
+`npm run <stage>`. *Pre* and *post*
 commands with matching names will be run for those as well (e.g. `premyscript`,
 `myscript`, `postmyscript`). Scripts from dependencies can be run with
 `npm explore <pkg> -- npm run <stage>`.
