 Looking up Remote Actors
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 ``actorFor(path)`` will obtain an ``ActorRef`` to an Actor on a remote node, e.g.::
 
-  val actor = context.actorFor("akka://app@10.0.0.1:2552/user/serviceA/retrieval")
+  val actor = context.actorFor("akka://actorSystemName@10.0.0.1:2552/user/actorName")
 
 As you can see from the example above the following pattern is used to find an ``ActorRef`` on a remote node::
 
-  akka://<actorsystemname>@<hostname>:<port>/<actor path>
+  akka://<actor system>@<hostname>:<port>/<actor path>
 
 Once you a reference to the actor you can interact with it they same way you would with a local actor, e.g.::
