+The module system is a very simple mechanism to allow applications (and parts of wxWidgets itself) to
+define initialization and cleanup functions that are automatically called on wxWidgets
 startup and exit.
 
 To define a new kind of module, derive a class from wxModule, override the OnInit and OnExit functions,
 and add the DECLARE\_DYNAMIC\_CLASS and IMPLEMENT\_DYNAMIC\_CLASS to header and implementation files
-(which can be the same file). On initialization, wxWindows will find all classes derived from wxModule,
-create an instance of each, and call each OnInit function. On exit, wxWindows will call the OnExit
+(which can be the same file). On initialization, wxWidgets will find all classes derived from wxModule,
+create an instance of each, and call each OnInit function. On exit, wxWidgets will call the OnExit
 function for each module instance.
