     """Return a truncated copy of the string. The length is specified
     with the first parameter which defaults to ``255``. If the second
     parameter is ``true`` the filter will cut the text at length. Otherwise
-    it will try to save the last word. If the text was in fact
+    it will discard the last word. If the text was in fact
     truncated it will append an ellipsis sign (``"..."``). If you want a
     different ellipsis sign than ``"..."`` you can specify it using the
     third parameter.
