Description

### Type of issue

Typo

### Description

In the exceptions sections for the TimeSpan versions it says the API will throw an exception if

> timeout is a negative number other than -1, which represents an infinite timeout.

That should say something about a TimeSpan being negative unless it corresponds to -1 milliseconds. TimeSpan isn't really a number, and to the extent it is (Ticks) the mysterious infinite number is -10,000, not -1.
