While you're in there: "inserted to the last" -> "inserted at the end" ? Also, I notice that this most recent change uses "dict" whereas the rest of the section uses "dictionary".

Say "Dictionary" rather than "Dict" (matches rest of document).  Say "inserted at the end" rather than "inserted to the last".
