Newbie's don't want to be told that "The NSMutableString class

changed after it has been created—use an object of the NSString
class."
... they want to know "How do I stored a string of characters in my

You're confusing the API reference with the task and conceptual
documentation.
The API reference is specifically there to tell you what the
NSMutableString class is and does. The supporting documentation (see
"Companion Documents" at the top of all reference documents) explains
the use of strings and mutable strings in different contexts.
