To me it would be more clear with something like: "Most commands that act on the visibly selected region text, and on the text near point otherwise, should use `use-region-p' instead. That function checks the value of `use-empty-active-region' as well. Note: In Emacs the region is visible if it is active and Transient Mark mode is enabled. To make this work as in most other editing environtments today you can use `cua-mode'."
