-This error means that an attempt to create an `unicode` object (i.e. the Python internal representation for a sequence of internationalized characters as defined by the Unicode standard) from a `str` object by "decoding" the sequence of bytes composing the later according to some conventional encoding, failed.
+This error indicate a failed attempt to create an `unicode` object (i.e. the Python internal representation for a sequence of internationalized characters as defined by the Unicode standard) from a `str` object, by "decoding" the sequence of bytes of the latter according to some conventional encoding.
 
 In practice, this happens because the default conversion will make use of the default encoding, which usually is the ASCII encoding and as such, doesn't associate any meaning to the byte values higher than 127.
