-The is an alternative example to [`/examples/gatsby`](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/examples/gatsby) leveraging [gatsby-theme-material-ui](https://github.com/hupe1980/gatsby-theme-material-ui/tree/master/packages/gatsby-theme-material-ui).
+This is an alternative example to [`/examples/gatsby`](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/examples/gatsby) leveraging [gatsby-theme-material-ui](https://github.com/hupe1980/gatsby-theme-material-ui/tree/master/packages/gatsby-theme-material-ui).
