 LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm,

+providing compression speed > 500 MB/s per core,
 scalable with multi-cores CPU.
 It features an extremely fast decoder,
 with speed in multiple GB/s per core,
 typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.
 
 Speed can be tuned dynamically, selecting an "acceleration" factor
-which trades compression ratio for more speed up.
+which trades compression ratio for faster speed.
 On the other end, a high compression derivative, LZ4_HC, is also provided,
 trading CPU time for improved compression ratio.
 All versions feature the same decompression speed.
 
+LZ4 is also compatible with [dictionary compression](https://github.com/facebook/zstd#the-case-for-small-data-compression),
+and can ingest any input file as dictionary,
+including those created by [Zstandard Dictionary Builder](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/v1.3.5/programs/zstd.1.md#dictionary-builder).
