 ## Assignment and tuples
 
 The language supports assignment between tuple types that have
-the same number of fields and the same types for each of those
-fields. Those types must be exact compile-time matches. Other

+fields. Other
 conversions are not considered for assignments. Let's look at the kinds
 of assignments that are allowed between tuple types.
