This is a good point, maybe they will be picky about it.

Also, I am now thinking the 140 chars, what to the english native  
speakers here think:  Is this includin or excluding the given sentence

Our project is a tool to master personal/project data your way,
in plain text, with features out of your way until needed,
backed by the power of Emacs.
