-Description: The Automattic Theme Team starter theme that underscores all our work.
+Description: Hi. I'm a starter theme called <code>_s</code>, or <em>underscores</em>, if you like. I'm a theme meant for hacking so don't use me as a <em>Parent Theme</em>. Instead try turning me into the next, most awesome, WordPress theme out there. That's what I'm here for.
