 .SH DESCRIPTION
 This command outputs details about the supplied query.  The default
-output is the computed query cost.  \f2verbose\f1 displays the full query
-plan and cost to your screen, and pretty-prints the plan to the postmaster

+output is the computed query cost.  The cost value is only meaningful to

 .SH EXAMPLES
 In the examples, the table has a single column of float4.
 \fBcost\fR is the cost of scanning a base/join relation,
-\fBsize\fR is the expected number of tuples from a scan,
+\fBrows\fR is the expected number of rows from a scan,
 \fBwidth\fR is the length of a tuple.
