slight 'rm --help' confusion

[Daniel]

hey guys,
i've just seen something that could maybe be improved. The line in the 
quickhelp screen for the rm command ('rm --help') that reads:
  -r, -R, --recursive   remove the contents of directories recursively
was slightly confusing to me. I didn't figure that it would also delete the 
directory and deleting the directory was what I wanted to do. It would probably 
help someone whos new at linux if it would read
'removes the directory specified and all of its content recursively'.
Just an idea. Thx for your time
Daniel
