groff(7): Fix style nits.
* Consistently say "'numerical' expression". I prefer adjective forms
ending in "-ic" where this does not create ambiguity with a noun
(contrast "numeric" with "cynic"), but this is the shorter path to
consistent usage in the page for now.
* Tighten wording.
"An American complaining about the English usage patterns of the
U.K.--that's ironical," said Tom, as he incited an historic furore.
