I want to emphasize that the wording you're critiquing is not my own
invention.
Here's the diff in question:
-This is the most popular and probably the most important macro package
-of @code{groff}. It is easy to use, and a vast majority of manual pages
-are based on it.
+The @code{man} macro package is the most widely-used and probably the
+most important ever developed for @code{troff}. It is easy to use, and
+a vast majority of manual pages (``man pages'') are written in it.
+
+@code{groff}'s implementation is documented in the @cite{groff_man(7)}
+man page. Type @command{man groff_man} at the command line to view it.
I take it your intention was not to accuse me of puffery. :)
As can be seen, my changes are not promotional in bent.
Regards,
Branden
