commit 684c7e944f3aa5ef0613900e5a234fabe92a7827

Book: minor editing to help in readability
Of the sentences in the book started with the number '20' and the previous
sentence ended in a '4'! This structure was hard to read and could cause
confusions.
With this commit, the '20' is changed to 'Twenty'. This helps visually
separating the sentences.
This issue was reported by Thérèse Godefroy.

variety of values and does not necessarily need to be 4.
This profile depends on the effective radius (@mymath{r_e}) which is defined
as the radius which contains half of the profile brightness (see @ref{Profile
magnitude}).
@mymath{I_e} is the flux at the effective radius.
The S@'ersic index @mymath{n} is used to define the concentration of the
profile within @mymath{r_e} and @mymath{b_n} is a constant dependent on
@mymath{n}.
