User(s) can reproduce this bug
In the first example generated by Get-Help Add-Member -Full, the text reads:

Adds a new member even the object has a custom member with the same name.

It should read

Adds a new member even if the object has a custom member with the same name.

There is a missing 'if' between the words "...member even" and 'the object has...'

This is true of both the downloaded and online help text.
