  * <h3>Creating a wrapped buffer</h3>
  *
  * Wrapped buffer is a buffer which is a view of one or more existing
- * byte arrays, byte buffer and string.  Any changes in the content of the
- * original array or buffer will be reflected in the wrapped buffer.  Various
- * wrapper methods are provided and their name is all {@code wrappedBuffer()}.
+ * byte arrays and byte buffers.  Any changes in the content of the original
+ * array or buffer will be reflected in the wrapped buffer.  Various wrapper
+ * methods are provided and their name is all {@code wrappedBuffer()}.
  * You might want to take a look at this method closely if you want to create
  * a buffer which is composed of more than one array to reduce the number of
  * memory copy.
  *
  * <h3>Creating a copied buffer</h3>
  *
- * Copied buffer is a deep copy of one or more existing byte arrays or byte
- * buffer.  Unlike a wrapped buffer, there's no shared data between the
- * original arrays and the copied buffer.  Various copy methods are provided
- * and their name is all {@code copiedBuffer()}.  It's also convenient to
- * use this operation to merge multiple buffers into one buffer.
