+In addition to functioning as a metapackage, `rapids-dask-dependency` also includes code for patching dask itself.
 This package is never intended to be manually imported by the user.
 Instead, upon installation it installs a `.pth` file (see the [site module documentation](https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/site.html) for how these work) that will be run whenever the Python interpreter starts.
-This file installs a custom [meta path loader](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#the-meta-path) that intercepts all calls to importing dask modules.
+This file installs a custom [meta path loader](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#the-meta-path) that intercepts all calls to import dask modules.
 This loader is set up to apply RAPIDS-specific patches to the modules, ensuring that regardless of import order issues dask modules will always be patched for RAPIDS-compatibility in environments where RAPIDS packages are installed.
