 </script>
 ```
 
-Your text should now fluidly resize, by default: Font-size = 1/10th of the element's width.
-
-## The Compressor
-If your text is resizing poorly, you'll want to turn tweak up/down "The Compressor". It works a little like a guitar amp. The default is `1`.
-
-```javascript
-jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText(1.2); // Turn the compressor up   (resizes more aggressively)
-jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText(0.8); // Turn the compressor down (resizes less aggressively)
-```
-
-This will hopefully give you a level of "control" that might not be pixel perfect, but resizes smoothly & nicely.
-
 ## minFontSize & maxFontSize
 FitText now allows you to specify two optional pixel values: `minFontSize` and `maxFontSize`. Great for situations when you want to preserve hierarchy.
 
 ```javascript
-jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText(1.2, { minFontSize: '20px', maxFontSize: '40px' })
+jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText({ minFontSize: '20px', maxFontSize: '40px' })
 ```
