 By default, ArgumentParser objects read command-line args in as simple strings.
 However, quite often the command-line string should instead be interpreted as
-another type, like a :class:`float`, :class:`int` or :class:`file`.  The
-``type`` keyword argument of :meth:`add_argument` allows any necessary
-type-checking and type-conversions to be performed.  Many common built-in types

 To ease the use of various types of files, the argparse module provides the
 factory FileType which takes the ``mode=`` and ``bufsize=`` arguments of the
-``file`` object.  For example, ``FileType('w')`` can be used to create a
+:func:`open` function.  For example, ``FileType('w')`` can be used to create a
 writable file::
 
    >>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()

 the type-converted value::
