 ## for and iterators
 
 The `for in` construct is able to interact with an `Iterator` in several ways.
-As discussed in with the [Iterator][iter] trait, if not specified, the `for`
-loop will apply the `into_iter` function on the collection provided to convert
-the collection into an iterator. This is not the only means to convert a
-collection into an iterator however, the other functions available include
-`iter` and `iter_mut`.

-These 3 functions will return different views of the data within your

 * `iter` - This borrows each element of the collection through each iteration.
   Thus leaving the collection untouched and available for reuse after the loop.

-Another benefit: `if let` allows to match enum non-parameterized variants, even if the enum doesn't `#[derive(PartialEq)]`, neither we implement `PartialEq` for it. In such case, classic `if Foo::Bar==a` fails, because instances of such enum are not comparable for equality. However, `if let` works.
+Another benefit is that `if let` allows us to match non-parameterized enum variants. This is true even in cases where the enum doesn't implement or derive `PartialEq`. In such cases `if Foo::Bar == a` would fail to compile, because instances of the enum cannot be equated, however `if let` will continue to work.
