 ## Block Groups
 
-Block groups are designed for quickly creating gridded content, like a tile pattern or image gallery. Block groups are percentage based, so they can subdivide columns. Block groups have the ability to break the regular grid system, and thus should be used sparingly and with thought.

 ## Columns
 
-A column is a constant unit of measure. The width of a column is dynamic, but always between a fixed range. Columns will never get too large or or too small. As the viewport gets smaller, and the columns near the bottom of their range, the Calcite Grid System will simply put less columns on the page. By default, large screens hold 24 columns, medium tablet-sized screens hold 12, and phone-sized screens hold 6. The grid will fold columns at these breakpoints. That means an element that is 3 columns wide will always be 3 columns wide, no matter how big or small the screen.

 ## Nested Columns
 
-Contrary to other flexible-width grid systems, Calcite Grid columns do not change behavior when nested. Because a column is a constant measurement relative the size of the viewport, nested columns still span the same width as their non-nested counterparts. An element with `.column-6` nested within an element with `.column-12` is the same size as an un-nested `.column-6`. Further, clearing of the column-gutter is taken care of for you with `:first-child` and `:last-child` psuedo-selectors on all column classes.

Further, clearing of the column-gutter is automatically done for you with `:first-child` and `:last-child` psuedo-selectors on all column classes.
 
 Column-folding behavior is almost entirely automatic. The only exception is gutter clearing behaviors on deeply nested items after column folding occurs - in some situations we can not know what columns are now first or last in their rows. This will cause the column to be inset from the edge of the container. The example below solves this by introducing `first-column` classes, along with `tablet-first-column` and `phone-first-column`.
 
-In this example, the more transparent the blue, the deeper the column is nested. There are four levels of nesting in this example.

+The Calcite Grid System includes a full, responsive, and configurable grid with columns, a container, and a 'Block Group' grid. The main grid is different from standard css grid systems in two key ways:
 
 1. Column widths are defined by the viewport size rather than percentage of their containers.
 2. Built-in smart defaults for responsive sizing puts less columns across the screen at smaller sizes, rather than smaller columns.
 
-These two principles mean that a column becomes standard unit of measurement, creating a constant and abstracted grid system that stands behind the content of a page rather than within it.

 ### Vertical Rhythym
 Vertical rhythym is maintained in the Calcite Web Type System by the use of the `$baseline` variable. `$baseline` sets a standard and regular leading in relation to the body copy – 1.5rem. This variable is used for any measurement on the vertical axis in the page, including the [leader and trailer grid helper classes](../grid/#leader-and-trailer) and padding for [components like buttons](../components/#buttons) which use standard measurements like `3/$baseline` and `2/$baseline`.
