non explicitness on man pages for short option args

[Dan Jacobson]

Remember back when it was cool to do
$ tail -33 file
Looking at the tail man page, I think I see it still mentioned:
       -n, --lines=N
              output the last N lines, instead of the last 10
However, what you are talking about there is
$ tail -n 33
But it is not crystal clear, as you have the habit of saying
       -n, --lines=N
              output the last N lines, instead of the last 10
whereas a more explicit way of talking would be something like
       -n N, --lines=N
              output the last N lines, instead of the last 10
This habit extends thru 99% of your man pages.
(Yes, if you meant that then you would have said maybe -N.)
(Yes the Info page mentions the old option.)
