gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.
commit 501d76100495a36320b465932c42b06eef9550c1
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
AuthorDate: Wed Apr 8 07:51:24 2020 +1000
**/*.man: Fix "e.g." style nit.
The Latin abbreviation "e.g." is always succeeded by a comma in English
prose.
Many manuals, e.g., the Chicago Manual of Style, require this.
[One instance, in tbl(1), remains. I'm leaving it so it doesn't cause
merge conflicts with a rewrite I have in progress.]
