[groff] 01/01: Fix bad grammar "allows <infinitive>".

[G. Branden Robinson]

gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 389358ea5a250bb3ac0ef631e81334c961b089a7
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date:   Sun Oct 22 15:24:58 2017 -0400

    Fix bad grammar "allows <infinitive>".
    
    I corrected all occurences of this Denglish construction I could find.
    In standard English, the verb "allows" can never take an infinitive as
    its _direct_ object.  Fortunately, there are many alternatives available
    to the recaster.
    
    See, e.g., <https://english.stackexchange.com/a/85080> et seq.
