You should also add "ls", "cd" and "mv" to the command list.
ls = view inside an directory (i.e. ls /home/user)
ls -a = view all files, even the hidden ones
ls -l = view it like a list
cd = go up and down in the file system (i.e. cd /home/user/)
cd .. = go down one step
cd ~ = go to home directory
mv = move or rename a file or directory (i.e. mv /home/file.txt /home/user/file.txt)

I think -name and glob patterns should be much easier to understand and remember for a beginner than grep and regular expressions.
True. If the point was to demonstrate grep fair enough, though I think one can come up with better examples using something other than find (eg ps, df, various /proc files etc).

cd = change directory, without any argument it goes to the user's home dir, which is $HOME or ~

ok I did some reading and i get it clearer now thanks

Well don't know how to enter a Title for my Wiki and although others can edit the body of my wiki after I just want to you know add my title although it's just going to be "X Terminal Commands for Noobs"
Guys and gals I got to go to work now so I'll finish this later but the WIKI will go up soon because it is important. Basically I want it in categorical form so it's easier to navigate other than just a plain list of commands with explanations for each.
N.B. Also each command that is added should be given a clear explanation and even examples. If you don't have the patience hand over the task to someone capable. I am capable of breaking down complicated stuff.
Thank you all again for helping with this project.
but titles are made like this:
