 While you could [add a ref to the child component](#adding-a-ref-to-a-class-component), this is not an ideal solution, as you would only get a component instance rather than a DOM node. Additionally, this wouldn't work with functional components.
 
-Instead, in such cases we recommend exposing a special prop on the child. The child would take a prop with an arbitrary name (e.g. `inputRef`) and attach it to the DOM node as a `ref` attribute. This lets the parent pass its ref to the child's DOM node through the component in the middle.
+Instead, in such cases we recommend exposing a special prop on the child. This prop can be named anything other than ref (e.g. inputRef). The child component can then forward the prop to the DOM node as a ref attribute. This lets the parent pass its ref to the child's DOM node through the component in the middle.
 
 This works both for classes and for functional components.
