 **An open standard for sound, interoperable JavaScript Observables.**
 
-An *Observable* is an object that can send multiple values to a consumer.  An Observable has a `subscribe` method accepts a generator and send it any number of values.
+An *Observable* is an object that can send multiple values to a consumer.  An Observable has a `subscribe` method, which accepts a generator and sends it any number of values.
 
-This specification details the behavior of the `subscribe` method, providing an interoperable base which all conformant Observable implementations can be depended on to provide. As such, the specification should be considered very stable. Although the Observable organization may occasionally revise this specification with minor backward-compatible changes to address newly-discovered corner cases, we will integrate large or backward-incompatible only after careful consideration, discussion, and testing.

 The core Observable specification does not deal with how to create Observables, Generators, or Subscriptions, choosing instead to focus on providing an interoperable a `subscribe` method. Future work in companion specifications may touch on these subjects.
