 \subsection{Support for tabs in \cs{verb*}}
 
-\LaTeX{} converts tabs to spaces when typsetting. The same has been true to
-date inside \cs{verb}, but was done in a way that meant that they remained
-as normal spaces even in \cs{verb*}. We have now adjusted the code so that
-tabs are retained within \cs{verb} and \cs{verb*} independently from spaces,
-and are set up to print in the same way spaces do. This means that they
-now generate visible spaces inside \cs{verb*}, and their behavior can be
-adjusted if required to be different from that of spaces.
+\LaTeX{} converts a single tab to a single space, which is then treated like
+a \enquote{real} space in typesetting. The same has been true to date inside
+\cs{verb}, but was done in a way that meant that they remained as normal spaces
+even in \cs{verb*}. We have now adjusted the code so that tabs are retained
+within \cs{verb} and \cs{verb*} independently from spaces, and are set up to
+print in the same way spaces do. This means that they now generate visible
+spaces inside \cs{verb*}, and their behavior can be adjusted if required to be
+different from that of spaces.
