find: warning: you have specified the global option -mount after the argument -iname, but global
options are not positional, i.e., -mount affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it. Please specify global options before other arguments.
um, find? you clearly understood me. please don't nag me about irrelevant shit. you're a computer program, you don't get to insist on etiquette.

@millihertz@oldbytes.space How do you tell global options from "arguments" just by looking at them? Seems like a UI problem, not a user problem. Also, expecting option flags to be specified in a particular order is a misfeature. This is one of the reasons linkers are such a pain in the ass. I understand the rationale for having such a broken interface but it doesn't make it any less broken
