Problem:

In the chgrp.1 man page, the full stop should be inside the parentheses:

"If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed.  (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed)."

In the cut.1 man page, the full stop should be outside the parentheses:

"The list specifies fields, separated in the input by the field delimiter character (see the -d option.)  Output fields are separated by a single occurrence of the field delimiter character."
