 ## Using a Custom Genesis Configuration
 
-It is possible to use development mode with a custom genesis allocation.  To obtain a compatible genesis configuration, run `geth --dev dumpgenesis`.  The resulting genesis has proof-of-stake and all pre-merge hard forks activated at block 0.  Precompile addresses are funded to prevent them being removed from the state per EIP158.
+It is possible to use a custom genesis block configuration in development mode. To obtain a compatible configuration, run `geth --dev dumpgenesis`. The resulting genesis has proof-of-stake and all pre-merge hard forks activated at block 0. Precompile addresses are funded to prevent them being removed from the state per EIP158.
 
 Users are free to modify the generated template provided they keep pre-merge hard-forks and proof-of-stack transition activated at block 0.
