Lesson 2 - Explaining arguments/flags more clearly
This refers to Lesson 2 in the Unix Shell - https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-shell/02-navigating-the-filesystem.html
When arguments/flags are first mentioned in Lesson 2, their function could be made clearer. For example, an explanation that with command ls: -l is for outputting as a long list; -h is for outputting in human-readable form; and -S is for sorting (largest first).
These are covered in more detail later, but when they first appear, it is quite cryptic!
It would be great if you could suggest ways of working these explanations into the lesson text.
Here are the relevant parts for comparison:

(The grammar in the above extract could do with some attention, and what it says is not what it means.)
