Follow-up Comment #1, bug #51541 (project groff):
-The @code{eqn} preprocessor allowed mathematical formulæ to be specified
+The @code{eqn} preprocessor allowed mathematical formulas to be specified
This is not a spelling error, though the use of the æ ligature is in my
opinion a bit of an affectation. More importantly, it invites character
set/encoding problems.
"Formulae" is a valid plural for "formula" in standard English.
