 ## Global namespace
 
-While using namespaces, you may find your code being executed in the wrong scope for internal methods. To fix this,
-define the method globally by using a backslash before the method.
+When using namespaces, you may find that internal functions are hidden by functions you wrote. To fix this,
+refer to the global function by using a backslash before the function name.
