-Creates a new function that, when executed, will only call the `func` function at most once per every `wait` milliseconds. If the throttled function is invoked more than once, `func` will also be called on the trailing edge of the `wait` timeout. Subsequent calls to the throttled function will return the result of the last `func` call.
+Creates a new function that, when executed, will only call the `func` function at most once per every `wait` milliseconds. If the throttled function is invoked more than once during the `wait` timeout, `func` will also be called on the trailing edge of the timeout. Subsequent calls to the throttled function will return the result of the last `func` call.
 
 #### Arguments
 1. `func` *(Function)*: The function to throttle.
