(In reply to Theodore Tso from comment #24)

There are a couple of things I think you should change.

• Writing the number as "65'000" (fast to read and unambiguous to everyone) or
"65 000" (SI style) would be better.
• The comma after the introductory adverb "Normally" is missing.
• "to regular files as well as directories" instead of "to files as well as
directories". Remember: Directories are files.
• Thousands separator, again.
• If you choose to mention '..', mention '.', too. Or mention neither, idc.
• It called a "link count", not a "links count".
