 # Scalding
 
-Scalding is a Scala library that makes it easy to write MapReduce jobs in Hadoop. Instead of forcing you to write raw `map` and `reduce` functions, Scalding allows you to write code that looks like *natural* Scala. It's similar to other MapReduce platforms like Pig, but offers a higher level of abstraction due to its built-in integration with Scala and the JVM.
+Scalding is a Scala library that makes it easy to write MapReduce jobs in Hadoop. Instead of forcing you to write raw map and reduce functions, Scalding allows you to write code that looks like *natural* Scala. It's similar to other MapReduce platforms like Pig, but offers a more powerful level of abstraction due to its built-in integration with Scala and the JVM.
 
 Scalding is built on top of [Cascading](http://www.cascading.org/), a Java library that abstracts away much of the complexity of Hadoop.

 ## Word Count
 
 Hadoop is a distributed system for counting words. Here is how it's done in Scalding.

 Notice that the `tokenize` function, which is standard Scala, integrates naturally with the rest of the MapReduce job. This is a very powerful feature of Scalding. (Compare it to the use of UDFs in Pig.)
