In general, this is an improvement, so it is worth checking in. However,
you are still missing some typos. For example, the synopsis lists:
.B find
[\-H] [\-L] [\-P] [-D debugopts] [-Olevel] [path...] [expression]
with inconsistent quoting of '-'.
Then, under OPTIONS, you mention that only -H, -L, and -P must appear
before directory names, although -D and -O should also be mentioned; you
may also want to consider listing that -- can end the options.
find --help claims that -regextype is a positional option, but the start
of OPTIONS does not list it.

Split this into three references, properly sorted.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
