 ## async
 
+The `async` attribute is somewhat like `defer`. It also makes the script non-blocking. But it has important differences in the behavior.
+
 The `async` attribute means that a script is completely independent:
 
-- The page doesn't wait for async scripts, the contents are processed and displayed.
+- The browser doesn't block on `async` scripts (like `defer`). 
+- Other scripts don't wait for `async` scripts, and `async` scripts don't wait for them. 
 - `DOMContentLoaded` and async scripts don't wait for each other:
     - `DOMContentLoaded` may happen both before an async script (if an async script finishes loading after the page is complete)
     - ...or after an async script (if an async script is short or was in HTTP-cache)
-- Other scripts don't wait for `async` scripts, and `async` scripts don't wait for them.
 
+In other words, `async` scripts load in the background and run when ready. The DOM and other scripts don't wait for them, and they don't wait for anything. A fully independent script that runs when loaded. As simple, at it can get, right? 
 
-So, if we have several `async` scripts, they may execute in any order. Whatever loads first -- runs first:
