Thanks for the report. The documentation perhaps is not completely
clear that ADJUST is meant to be a number.

Several traditional commands like nice, head, tail, etc. all would
take -NUMBER (NUMBER being a number) but that is an inconsistent
interface and today's wisdom says all options should be an option
followed by an argument. So the prefered syntax would be -n 10
instead of -10, for example.
The normal usage of nice is something like the following.
nice xdos
nice -n 10 xdos
As always 'info nice' will get you the documentation.
Hope that helps to clear that up.
