 Mercurial offers you the power and speed to efficiently handle projects of any size and kind. You can use a multitude of [workflows]() and enhance its functionality with [extensions](). 
 
 ### Ease of use
-Mercurials consistent and intuitive interface makes it easy to learn and understand. You can simply start with the [bare basics]() and learn incrementally or print a copy of the [hgbook]() to understand the big picture in one go.

 ### Just works
-Mercurial strives to deliver on each of its promises. If it looks like you could use it for a specific task, chances are that it will just work on the first try. (if it doesn't, that's most likely no feature but a [bug](http://selenic.com/mercurial/bugs/))
