Is it typo; Observer, not Observable that starts emitting items?

In the text listed below, is there a typo? In second sentence, shouldn’t the word be "Observable’ instead of Observer? Observable starts emitting items and not sure how Observer would do it. Please confirm.
Thanks


Line 10 : The .subscribe(...) function is both the beginning and end of our data stream. It is the beginning because .subscribe() prompts the Observer to do its work and start emitting items.
