chmod: man page clarification for letter X |

Hello,
I've recently come across chmod's man page as someone who is not very
experienced (1st year CS undergrad), and found that the definition of the
letter X in the man page a bit unclear, more specifically this part (in
bold):
execute/search only if the file is a directory or already has execute
permission
*for **some user* (X)
In my opinion this could be worded slightly better and more clearly as:
execute/search only if the file is a directory or already has execute
permission
*for **user, group or other* (X)
Please let me know what your thoughts on this change would be, and if
necessary I would be very happy to provide the patch for this change myself.
Thank you,
Tomás
