Found a mistake

Hi, I found a mistake in the FreeBSD handbook. I intend to send you
other mistake I might find unless you tell me to stop.
In section 3.3.1 on this page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html
The last paragraph says:
"A comma separated list can be provided when more than one set of
changes to a file must be made. For example the following command will
remove the groups and ``world'' write permission on FILE, then it adds
the execute permissions for everyone:
% chmod go-w,a+x FILE
"
The command does not do what the text says. The text says "world" but the command is for "Other".
I suggest you change either one or the other.
Have fun with the mistake, wrestle it to the ground and make it submit.
Greets,
Louis Tan
