-      Most of the time you will not find yourself using an error set type. Instead,
-      likely you will be using the error union type. This is when you take an error set
-      and a normal type, and create an error union with the <code>!</code> binary operator.
+      An error set type and normal type can be combined with the <code>!<code>
+      binary operator to form an error union type. You are likely to use an
+      error union type more often than an error set type by itself.
