I updated the manpage using the wording from the Texinfo documentation. Thanks for spotting this problem.

From the manual page for find(1): "X and Y are placeholders for other letters, and these letters select which time belonging to how reference is used for the comparison."

Is it just me or does that sentence not make sense in English?
Also, it does not explain the difference between X and Y.

Fortunately the Info page is much more clear on this subject.
