 In this stage, you'll add support for responding to the `ACL WHOAMI` command.

+The [`ACL WHOAMI`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/acl-whoami/) command returns the username associated with the current connection. 
 
-In Redis, every new connection is automatically authenticated using the `default` user. This feature can be turned off, making every new connection unauthenticated at first. We'll get to that in the later stages.

-Example usage:
+By default, every new connection in Redis is automatically authenticated as the `default` user. For example:
 
 ```bash
 > ACL WHOAMI
 "default"
 ```
 
-It returns the username of currently authenticated user, encoded as a [RESP bulk string](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec/#bulk-strings).
+The command returns the username of the currently authenticated user, encoded as a [RESP bulk string](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec/#bulk-strings).

+This default authentication behavior can be changed so that new connections start out unauthenticated. We'll cover that in later stages.

 ### Notes
 
-- In this stage, you can hardcode the response of the `ACL WHOAMI` command to be `default`. We'll get to enforcing authentication in the later stages.
