 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The
-.BR iconv(3)
+.BR iconv (3)
 function internally uses
 .I gconv
 modules to convert to and from a character set.
 A configuration file is used to determine the needed modules
 for a conversion.
 Loading and parsing such a configuration file would slow down
-.BR iconv(3)
-using programs so a caching mechanism has been introduced.
+programs that use
+.BR iconv (3),
+so a caching mechanism is employed.
 
 The
 .B iconvconfig
 program reads iconv module configuration files and writes
-a fastloading gconv module configuration cache file.
-In addition to the system provided gconv modules, user can specify 
+a fast-loading gconv module configuration cache file.
+In addition to the system provided gconv modules, the user can specify 
 custom gconv module directories with the environment variable
 .BR GCONV_PATH .
 However, iconv module configuration caching is only used when
