Fix typo errors and correct 'pronouncable' to 'pronounceable' in README
Corrected all the occurrences of the word 'pronouncable' to correct spelling 'pronounceable' across the README file. Also fixed a small typo 'apt-go', replaced it with the correct term 'apg-go'. The changes ensure correct spelling and consistent terminology in the README document.
