# === A word of warning
#
- # Don't create associations that have the same name as instance methods of
- # ActiveRecord::Base. Since the association adds a method with that name to
- # its model, it will override the inherited method and break things.
- # For instance, +attributes+ and +connection+ would be bad choices for association names.
+ # Don't create associations that have the same name as [instance methods](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Core.html) of
+ # <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt>. Since the association adds a method with that name to
+ # its model, using an association with the same name as one provided by <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> will override the method inherited through <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> and will break things.
+ # For instance, +attributes+ and +connection+ would be bad choices for association names, because those names already exist in the list of <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> instance methods.
