+The `~c` sigil (we'll cover sigils later in the ["Sigils"](sigils.md) chapter) indicates the fact that we are dealing with a charlist and not a regular string.
 
 Instead of containing bytes, a charlist contains integer code points. However, the list is only printed as a sigil if all code points are within the ASCII range:

-Note that those functions are polymorphic - not only do they convert charlists to strings, they also operate on integers, atoms, and so on.
+The functions above are polymorphic, in other words, they accept many shapes: not only do they convert charlists to strings (and vice-versa), they can also convert integers, atoms, and so on.
 
 String (binary) concatenation uses the `<>` operator but charlists, being lists, use the list concatenation operator `++`:
