 ====== Position literals to align with Parent Objects ======
-Literal Positions add flexibility to the Position property for objects (and incidentally for spawners as well, but in a less extensive manner as spawners don't have a Pivot).
+Using literals for object positioning adds flexibility for placing an object relative to its parent, without having to do manual calculations.
-They should be useful for positioning an object relative to its parent, without doing some calculations manually.
+This is especially useful in the context of UI.
-When a Parent is defined for an object, you can use the same literals for Position as with Pivot to align object inside parent's borders.
+Furthermore, when a Parent is defined for an object, you can use the same literals for Position as with Pivot to align object inside parent's borders.
 The global form is:
     Position = [pivot's override ->] Position's in parent space
 Here's a basic setup with one rectangular parent (green) and one rectangular child (red):
