I have found a few typos in the README.md. Following is an example,
Select ports have support for _thread module (multithreading), socket and ssl for networking, and asyncio. Note that only a subset of Python 3 functionality is implemented for the data types and modules.
Here, Select should be changed to Selected.
I would like to work on these typos and make a contribution to MicroPython.

While I'm sure there are typos in the documentation, you picked a controversial use of English as your example.
Many people now use "select" to imply a carefully chosen subset, such as "The awards were attended by a select group of celebrities".
One piece of guidance I have seen says:
Use "select" as an adjective to connote a desirable group of objects. Use "selected" as adjective to connote a neutral (even if purposeful) subsetting of objects from a larger universe.
So while I agree that "selected" would be the better choice here, perhaps we would be better off using more common language such as "Some ports have support for _thread module" and avoid the use of "advertising speak" for technical documentation.

I agree to follow the MicroPython Code of Conduct to ensure a safe and respectful space for everyone.
I've searched for existing issues and didn't find any that matched.
