    doc/groff.texi (Invocation Examples): Tweak.
    
    + Say "GNU troff" instead of "gtroff".
    + Set command names with @command rather than @code.
    + Spell the output device as "ascii", not "ASCII".  The parameter is
      similar but not identical to the name of the encoding.
    + Macro files are "loaded", not "called".
    + Place conjunction correctly.
      WRONG: "I'll either write in Rust or Go."
      RIGHT: "I'll write either in Rust or Go."
      RIGHT: "I'll either write in Rust or go blind."
