-Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Keywords - Restricted keywords in Moose 
+Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Keywords - Restricted "keywords" in Moose
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-There are several keywords exported by L<Moose> that can cause clashes 
-against other user-defined barewords. The following document provides 
-a list of those keywords in a single place for easy reference.
+Moose exports a number of sugar functions in order to emulate Perl
+built-in keywords. These can cause clashes with other user-defined
+functions. This document provides a list of those keywords for easy
+reference.
 
 =head2 The 'meta' keyword
 
-While most of the reserved keywords collisions can be avoided, however 
-I<meta> is the only one you B<can not> override. Do not attempt to override
-I<meta>, it will break the Moose internals.
+While most collisions can be avoided, you cannot avoid importing a
+C<meta> method when you C<S<use Moose>>. If you try to override or
+change what C<meta> does, you could end up breaking Moose internals.

 For instance, with L<Sub::Exporter> you can rename keywords, like so:
 
   package LOL::Cat;
   use Moose 'has' => { -as => 'i_can_haz' };
-  
+
   i_can_haz 'cheeseburger' => (
-     is      => 'rw',
-     trigger => sub { print "NOM NOM" }
+      is      => 'rw',
+      trigger => sub { print "NOM NOM" }
   );
-  
+
   LOL::Cat->new->cheeseburger('KTHNXBYE');
 
 See the L<Sub::Exporter> docs for more information.
