I'm noticing that in some of groff's own man pages, the plain-old long-suffering apostrophe is explcitly avoided in favor of \(aq.
And I don't mean in any fancy technical jargon, I mean in plain language like: Don\(aqt listen to Trump\(aqs advisors. That sure is ugly, and unkind to spell-checkers. Is this a recommended style? If the page author absolutely hates directional single quotes used as apostrophes, wouldn't it be better to do something like .tr '\[aq] near the top of the document? Regards, Branden
