New submission from Bernt Røskar Brenna:

At least for me (non-english speaker), the following is confusing:

"Modifying dirnames when topdown is False is ineffective, because in bottom-up 
mode the directories in dirnames are generated before dirpath itself is 
generated."

I suggest to replace "is ineffective" with "has no effect".

Ineffective could also mean: "Has low performance", could it not?
