I believe that the command name "sort" in last sentence, "If used with -s or -f, sort will ignore...", should be replaced by "uniq", since it is talking about the -w option of the uniq command. It does not make sense to talk about the behavior of "sort" here, since -s and -f options have different meanings for sort and are not related to skipping a number of characters or fields.
