 ## Motivation
 
-In a similar manner to why JSON modules are useful, importing raw bytes is useful to extend this behavior to all files. This proposal provides an isomorphic way to read a file, regardless of the JavaScript environment. 
+In a similar manner to why JSON modules are useful, importing raw bytes is useful to extend this behavior to all files. This proposal provides an isomorphic way to read a file synchronously or asynchronously, regardless of the JavaScript environment. 
 
 For example, a developer may want to read a `.png` file to process an image or `.woff` to process a font and pass the bytes into isomorphic tools like [satori](https://github.com/vercel/satori).
