* fixup: remove excess whitespace * du: various tweaks - improve main description (include what "du" stands for) - simplify globbing example - unify nomenclature of folder/directory - minor tweaks to existing descriptions * du: a bunch of further rewordings these changes aim to improve both clarity but also the sequence of commands to make it easier to build a mental model of how the tool works. * osx/du: sync w/ changes in the linux folder * linux/du: sync w/ changes in the osx folder * remove slighly redundant «recursively» to make description simpler
