    groff_man*(7): Fix style nits.
    
    * Drop misleading reference to "strings".  Macro arguments are not best
      thought of as string objects in the roff language.  (You don't
      interpolate them with `\*`, for instance, but with the bespoke `\$`.)
    * Clarify mention of "two major syntactical categories".  Ordinary text
      is a syntactical category, too.
    * Tighten wording.
