Prose error on website (first paragraph)

Bug report

Bug summary

The very first paragraph of the homepage is:

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. Matplotlib can be used in Python scripts, the Python and IPython shells, the Jupyter notebook, web application servers, and four graphical user interface toolkits.

This has a typo. The word four is intended to be for to make sense. (I mean, technically it is logically possible that 4, not 3 and not 5, GUIs use Matplotlib; but I'm sure that's not the intent).

Thanks for the feedback. Actually I suppose it's meant to be ".. can be used in 4 GUI tooklits" (namely, Wx, Tk, Gtk3, Qt). But I admit it may be a bit misleading and a particular detail for an introductory paragraph. We'll think if we can improve on that.

I didn't write the original, but that still sounds funny. Surely someone has used Matplotlib with Kivy, or Pyforms, or PySide (which is kinda Qt), or Beeware.

I'm almost certain the original intent was "4", but I agree it sounds funny and should be reworded.
