    groff_char(7): Clarify.
    
    A font's kerning configuration has a major influence on how tightly
    single quotation marks are spaced.
    
    Say "GNU troff" when referring to our formatter's behavior as opposed to
    that of *roffs in general.
    
    Favor active voice over passive.
    
    Tighten wording.
