The missing piece of information was before there was ?roff there was roff .
roff Run OFF
((Unix version of the runoff text-formatting program from Multics))
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roff_(software)
nroff New ROFF
troff Typesetter ROFF
groff Gnu ROFF
neatroff NEAT ROFF or (NEArly TROFF ?)
So if you came from a time and place where more than one of these were in
common use, the pronunciation differentiates the particular implementation.
But if groff was the only command you were exposed to ... growl like a dog.
