 When talking about how library deals with exceptions, there are 2 questions that
 must be addressed:
 
-**What kind of exceptions the library functions can throws?**
+**What kinds of exceptions can the library functions throws?**
 
-**picows** may throw any exception that the underlying system calls may throw.
-Think about `ConnectionResetError` from :any:`ws_connect` or `BrokenPipeError`
+**picows** may raise any exception that the underlying system calls may raise.
+For example, `ConnectionResetError` from :any:`ws_connect` or `BrokenPipeError`
 from :any:`WSTransport.send`.
 
-**picows** doesn't wrap these exceptions into it's own special exception type.
-Additionally :any:`ws_connect` may throw :any:`WSError` in cases when there are
-websocket negotiation errors.
-In general :any:`WSError` is reserved for anything that is only specific to
-websockets.
