-The MUI Core team is working on two initiatives to standardize the Material UI API.
-This aims to provide a more consistent developer experience for the community.
-The first API being standardized is the one used for inner element overrides, and the second one is the component CSS classes API.
+The MUI Core team is working on two initiatives to standardize the Material UI API: The first applies to overriding inner elements, and the second applies to component CSS classes. 
+In both cases, the purpose is to provide a more consistent developer experience for the community.
+
+Let's explore how these changes are taking shape:
 
 ## Inner element overrides
 
-Modifying the inner elements of a component to customize its behavior or look is an everyday use case.
-For example, you might want to modify the `Slider`'s thumb element to grow in size when it's dragged:
+Because Material UI components often contain multiple DOM nodes, it's common to need to modify the structure, behavior, and style of inner elements.
+For example, you might want to modify the Slider's thumb element to grow in size when dragged:
 
 <iframe src="https://codesandbox.io/embed/nw34ry?view=Editor+%2B+Preview&module=%2Fsrc%2FDemo.tsx&hidenavigation=1"
      style="width:100%; height: 200px; border:0; border-radius: 4px; overflow:hidden;"

 You can achieve this by providing custom components through the `slots` prop.
-The demo above provides a custom thumb component that uses the `Slider`'s internal state `dragging` and `focusedThumbIndex` to change its appearance.

-The problem is that this slot pattern exposed through the `slots` prop needs to be standardized.
+The problem is that this slot pattern exposed through the `slots` prop is not consistent across the library.
 Some components implement the `slots` prop, but others have a `components` prop, which works almost exactly as the `slots` prop.
-Other components have props named `<SlotName>Component` for the same use, for example, the `Accordion`'s `TransitionComponent` prop.
+Other components have props named `<SlotName>Component` for more specific use cases—for example, the Accordion features a `TransitionComponent` prop for implementing custom transitions.
 
-The `slotProps` prop, used to provide custom props to inner elements, has the same problem.
-Some components have the `slotsProps` prop, others have a `componentsProps` prop, and others have props named `<SlotName>Props`.
+The same inconsistencies are found with the `slotProps` prop, which is used to provide custom props to inner elements.
+Some components have the `slotsProps` prop; others have a `componentsProps` prop; and still others have props named `<SlotName>Props`.
 
-This lack of consistency adds cognitive load to developers.
-It also adds complexity for maintainers.
-The `slots` and `slotProps` API will be standardized to solve these issues, and the analogous APIs will be deprecated and eventually removed.
+This lack of consistency leads to unnecessary complexity for both developers and maintainers.
+To resolve this, the `slots` and `slotProps` API will be standardized across all components, and the analogous APIs will be deprecated and eventually removed.
 
 ## Component CSS classes
 
-One way to customize the look of components is to target their CSS classes.
-For example, you might want to modify the `Chip` component's primary color and have it be different when it's clickable.
+The most common way to customize a component's look and feel is to target its CSS classes.
+For example, you might want to customize a Chip's primary color and set it to a different color when it's clickable:

-The problem is that you could also use the `chipclasses.clickableColorPrimary` composed class, which composes the clickable and color atomic classes.
+The problem is that you could also use the `chipClasses.clickableColorPrimary` composed class, which composes the atomic clickable and color classes.
 These composed classes bloat the API without adding significant improvements.
 For example, this pattern adds 26 CSS classes to the `Chip` component.
 
 The composed classes also reduce the predictability of the CSS classes API, as the compose order and which props get composed are arbitrary decisions.
-This adds cognitive load to the developers and complexity for maintainers.
-The composed CSS classes will be deprecated and eventually removed in favor of atomic class alternatives.
+This adds unnecessary cognitive overhead for developers as well as significant complexity for maintainers.
+Because of these issues, composed CSS classes will be deprecated and eventually removed in favor of atomic class alternatives.
 
 ## Standardization process
 
 This initiative aims to improve the developer experience for the Material UI community.
 To provide the smoothest migration from these APIs, they will be deprecated first and removed at a future date, likely the end of 2024.
-A [migration guide](https://mui.com/material-ui/migration/migrating-from-deprecated-apis/) and [codemods](https://github.com/mui/material-ui/tree/master/packages/mui-codemod#deprecations) will be released alongside each deprecation.
-As always, please [open a GitHub issue](https://github.com/mui/material-ui/issues/new/choose) if anything is not working as expected.
+With each deprecation, we'll update the [migration guide](https://mui.com/material-ui/migration/migrating-from-deprecated-apis/) and provide [codemods](https://github.com/mui/material-ui/tree/master/packages/mui-codemod#deprecations) to simplify the process.
+As always, please [open a GitHub issue](https://github.com/mui/material-ui/issues/new/choose) if you encounter any unexpected behavior with the standardized APIs.
