Actually, it looks a bit mixed with "manual page" winning:
(514) smkelly@edgemaster:/usr/share/man$ find . -name '*.gz'|xargs zgrep "man page"|wc -l
1277
(515) smkelly@edgemaster:/usr/share/man$ find . -name '*.gz'|xargs zgrep "manual page"|wc -l
2279
I must say that "manual page" sounds a lot better.
