 The machine code for `foo::<u8>()`, `foo::<bool>()`, `foo::<String>()`, or any
-other type substitution is different. Hence the compiler generates the
+other instantiation is different. Hence the compiler generates the
 implementation on-demand. If you call `foo()` with a `bool` parameter, the
 compiler will only generate code for `foo::<bool>()`. When we have additional
 type parameters, the number of monomorphized implementations the compiler
 generates does not grow drastically, since the compiler will only generate an
-implementation if the function is called with unparameterized substitutions
-(i.e., substitutions where none of the substituted types are themselves
-parameterized).
+implementation if the function is called with fully concrete arguments
+(i.e., arguments which do not contain any generic parameters).
 
 However, with trait objects we have to make a table containing _every_ object
 that implements the trait. Now, if it has type parameters, we need to add
