He should have asked mastodon about the worst man pages too. Some of them are really bad. My pet peeve are the ones that assume a particular audience with a particular knowledge set. My second pet peeve are inconsistent command line flags.
Man Page for park-dribble
Utility for parking the dribbles.
park-dribble -U Unstash context before parking
park-dribble -x or -X Execute preliminary cleaning
park-dribble --1 Only use one preprocessor
Note that the behavior of this command is undefined on systems with the X-CRLT-1 chipset versions 23 and above. Thank you very much, Dave.

The blog title says "Julia Evans."
I don't know what that has to do with my comment. Is this person famous?
The name "Julia" indicates a woman — she, not he.
