+Lark focuses on simplicity, power, and speed. It lets you choose between two parsing algorithms:
 
  - Earley : Parses all context-free grammars (even ambiguous ones)! It is the default.
- - LALR(1): Only LR grammars. Outperforms PLY and most if not all other pure-python parsing libraries.
+ - LALR(1): Only LR grammars. Outperforms PLY and most (if not all) other pure-python parsing libraries.
 
 Both algorithms are written in Python and can be used interchangably with the same grammar (aside for algorithmic restrictions). See "Comparison to other parsers" for more details.

  - Grammar composition (in cases that the tokens can reliably signify a grammar change)
  - Parser generator - create a small parser, indepdendent of Lark, to embed in your project.
