   <title>How is a Public key different from a Private key?</title>
 
   <p>Although <em>Public Keys</em> and <em>Private Keys</em> are both referred
-  to as keys, you can actually think of a <em>Public Key</em> as being like a
-  padlock, and you can think of a <em>Private Key</em> as being like a key that
-  unlocks the padlock.</p>
-
-  <p>As an example, imagine that you want your friends to send you a secret
-  message in a locked box. Using our analogy, you would first give each of your
-  friends a box and a duplicate copy of a padlock. However, only you would have
-  the key that unlocks those padlocks. You would keep that key private - you
-  wouldn't share it with anyone.</p>
-  
-  <p>Your friends could then place their secret messages into their boxes, and
-  lock the boxes with the padlocks. They would then send you the locked boxes
-  via messenger, and you could open the boxes with your key.</p>
+  to as <em>keys</em>, it helps to think of them a bit differently. Try to
+  think of a <em>Public Key</em> as being like a padlock, and a
+  <em>Private Key</em> as being like a key that unlocks the padlock.</p>
+
+  <p>Let's use an example to see how this works. Imagine that you want your
+  friends to send you a secret message in a locked box. You could give each
+  of your friends a box and a padlock, but only you would have the key that
+  unlocks the padlocks.</p>
+
+  <p>Each friend could place their message into their box, and lock the box.
+  They could send you their locked box in the mail, and you could unlock all
+  of the boxes that you receive with your key.</p>
 
   <p>This is similar to how a <em>Public Key</em> and a <em>Private Key</em>
   work. Like the padlock, you can freely give out your <em>Public Key</em>. This
-  will make it easy for anyone to securely encode a message that they want to
-  send to you. Similarly, you will want to keep your <em>Private Key</em> safe.
-  The <em>Private Key</em> is the tool that you will use to decode the secure
-  messages that you receive.</p>
+  will make it easy for anyone to securely encrypt, or lock, a message that
+  they want to send to you. Similarly, you will want to keep your
+  <em>Private Key</em> safe. The <em>Private Key</em> is what allows you to
+  decrypt, or unlock, the secure messages that you receive.</p>
