Quite right, I wish I could say I snuck it in there on purpose to see how much attention you all paid to my writing
To clarify...
A large (or wide) aperture is represented by a small F number (e.g. 2.8) and will let the most light through the lens.
Conversely, a small (or narrow) aperture is represented by a large F number (e.g. F22), this will let the least amount of light through the lens.
I got a little confused with F numbers and aperture being the size of the hole left by the iris.
To pick up on your quotes:
As we saw in the previous article, aperture represents the amount of light that is allowed through a lens, the smaller the aperture (e.g. F2.8), the greater amount of light passes through the lens.
Should really read: the smaller the aperture
number, which now is in-line with the below
How much the iris is closed by is expressed by the aperture you choose when taking a picture. A wide aperture (F2.8) will leave the iris wide open, allowing lots of light through, a narrow aperture (F22) will close the iris such that very little light is allowed through.

And it's been made a sticky, result
Best get writing the rest of them then ...
