 .SYNOPSIS
-	Syncronizes two folders
+	Sync two dirs
 .DESCRIPTION
 	This PowerShell script synchronizes (mirrors) the content of 2 directory trees by using Robocopy.
 	Typical use cases are backups: at first everything is copied (full backup), afterward only changes are copied (incremental backup).
 	IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the target path is correct because the content gets replaced (DATA LOSS)!
 .PARAMETER sourcePath
-	Specifies the path to the source folder
+	Specifies the path to the source dir (to be entered by default)
 .PARAMETER targetPath
-	Specifies the path to the target folder
+	Specifies the path to the target dir (to be entered by default)
 .EXAMPLE
-	PS> ./sync-folder.ps1 C:\MyPhotos D:\Backups\MyPhotos
+	PS> ./sync-dir.ps1 C:\Photos D:\Backups\Photos
