-To allow for fork coordination around a specific PoW block, clients must also provide `--terminal-block-hash-override` as a configurable setting.
+To allow for transition coordination around a specific PoW block, clients must also provide `--terminal-block-hash-override` as a configurable setting.
 The value provided by this setting takes precedence over the pre-configured `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH` parameter.
 
 Except under exceptional scenarios, this setting is expected to not be used. Sufficient warning to the user about this exceptional configurable setting should be provided.
