gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.
commit 490ca5387ca824cf34a09e65e78f2438c2b7a2e2
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date: Tue Nov 7 09:44:33 2017 -0500
man pages: Fix incorrect uses of Latin "cf.".
People seem to be using "cf." ("confere"), which means "compare", to
mean "see" instead, for which the Latin abbreviation would be "q.v."
("quod vide" -> "which see").
Just use English instead.
