     -f      Ignore the case of alphabetic characters.

Why does man sort say

       -f, --ignore-case
              fold lower case to upper case characters

instead of this? Do non-alphabetic characters have case? Mention if
alphabetic means [A-Za-z].


     -t      Specify a string termination character, i.e., only the characters
             in string up to and including the first occurrence of termchar
             are compared.

Why would one use this instead of just giving a shorter string? All
things that need mentioning / examples.
