gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.
commit 77d6ce8e969769a304572ee5c51632c38a71e54e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

grotty(1): Lightly recast.
* Use language that better parallels recent usage in our man pages.
* Also distinguish groff and troff, which is not too far down in the
weeds for an output driver (postprocessor) man page.
* Continue the slow replacement of "ASCII", which in hacker usage has
come to mean "whatever I personally expected that glyph to look like"
rather than any careful consideration of the contents of character
encoding standards.
