 ## `GenericArg`
 The actual `GenericArg` struct is optimised for space, storing the type, lifetime or
 const as an interned pointer containing a tag identifying its kind (in the
-lowest 2 bits). Unless you are working with the `Subst` implementation
+lowest 2 bits). Unless you are working with the `GenericArgs` implementation
 specifically, you should generally not have to deal with `GenericArg` and instead
 make use of the safe [`GenericArgKind`](#genericargkind) abstraction.
 
 ## `GenericArgKind`
 As `GenericArg` itself is not type-safe, the `GenericArgKind` enum provides a more
 convenient and safe interface for dealing with generic arguments. An
 `GenericArgKind` can be converted to a raw `GenericArg` using `GenericArg::from()`
-(or simply `.into()` when the context is clear). As mentioned earlier, substitution
+(or simply `.into()` when the context is clear). As mentioned earlier, instantiation
 lists store raw `GenericArg`s, so before dealing with them, it is preferable to
 convert them to `GenericArgKind`s first. This is done by calling the `.unpack()`
 method.
