Default Rectifier Circuits

I noticed a wording error in this e-book:

http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_3/chpt_3/4.html

The line is:
Furthermore, the AC power source only supplies power to the load once every half-cycle, meaning that much of its capacity is unused.

In my opinion, the line should read:
Furthermore, the AC power source only supplies power to the load one half of every full cycle, meaning that half of its capacity is unused.

I know that the author meant what I have noted, but it wasn't quite stated correctly.

Cheers,
Uisge
