 ====== Serial Communication ======
-Serial communication is a two-way stream of text that is communicated over a **serial port**--most often between the Arduino board (called the **target**) and the computer you are using to develop Arduino programs (called the **development host** or just **host**). It is one way to let the host system communicate with the Arduino board.
+Serial communication is a two-way stream of text characters that is communicated over a **serial port**. It is one way to let the Arduino board (called the **target**) communicate with the computer you are using to develop Arduino programs (called the **development host** or just **host**).
 Serial communication is often used to make the Arduino report back to the host the value of the program's variables or other information as the program is running. This can be of great value when you are trying to debug programs.
