Gentlemen, some of these are clearer than man test or
(info "(coreutils) Access permission tests")
bash$ help test|grep you
      -r FILE        True if file is readable by you.
      -w FILE        True if the file is writable by you.
      -x FILE        True if the file is executable by you.
      -O FILE        True if the file is effectively owned by you.
      -G FILE        True if the file is effectively owned by your group.

Likewise, for find -readable, something should be done.
