Bug Description
The current wording (0.42.2ubuntu12) is "Software updates can correct errors, eliminate security vulnerabilities and provide new features to you."
-The 'can' suggests that sometimes they don't always do these things.
-The pairing of 'provide' with 'to' is awkward.
Although these may sound like minor quibbles, a program that provides system updates should convey a sense of reliability and trustworthiness for users, and this lack of polish weakens that impression.
A suggested modification to the description is "Software updates correct errors, eliminate security vulnerabilities and provide [you with] new features."
