@ page 452 line 17527 section find editorial [gwc find first argument]

Problem:

Defect code :  1. Error

Line 17527 of the find page says "The first argument" where it is
clear from the context that it means the first argument that is
an operand.  (The context being that the text appears under the
"OPERANDS" header and after the introductory text "The following
operands shall be supported:".)

In the command "find -H . -print" the first argument that
begins with a '-' is -H, but the first operand that begins with
a '-' is -print.  The text on line 17527 is clearly meant to
refer to -print, not -H, and treating "argument" strictly
as meaning the first argument, rather than the first argument
that is an operand, would be an incorrect interpretation of
the standard.

The word should be changed to avoid confusion.

Action:

Change "The first argument" to "The first operand".
