 The serialized representation of composite types is comprised of two binary segments.
 
-* The first segment is *fixed size* for all types, containing the concatenation of *either* 
+* The first section is *fixed size* for all types, containing the concatenation of *either* 
     - The serialized representation of value for each of the *fixed size* types
     - The `"uint32"` serialized offset where the serialized representation of the *variable sized* type is located in the second section relative to the beginning of the first section.
 * The second section contains the concatenation of the serialized representations of **only** the *variable size* types.
