I sort of agree that the description of the command could probably use a
bit of rewording though.  Perhaps something like this?

:       For example the following command removes the write
:       permission from everyone except the user who owns the file
:       (``group'' and ``other'' modifiers of the ``-w'' flag) and
:       then add execute permission for everyone (``all'' modified
:       for the ``+x'' flag).
:
:       % chmod go-w,a+x FILE
