Dear Maintainer,
Summary:
Fix spelling of
cahracters
powerfull
Scandinavion
Delete repeated words.
Change '-' to '\-', if it is a minus.
Change "c.f." to "cf.", as this is one word.
Mark periods ('. ' or '.\n') with '\&', if they do not mean an end of a
sentence.
Add a comma after "e.g." and "i.e.", or use English words.
Change \\ to \e to print the escape character.
Remove space at end of lines.
Fix warnings from test-groff.
Change <number>[\]-<number> to <number>\(en<number> if it is
a numeric range.
Use the word 'valid' instead of "legal" (GNU coding standard).
Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a dash
(minus) if it matches " -[:alpha:]" or \[aq]-[:alpha:] (for options).
Use horizontal move function (\h'...') instead of a series of spaces.

Test nr. 35:
Add a comma after "e.g." and "i.e.", or use English words
(man-pages(7).
Abbreviation points should be protected against being interpreted as
an end of sentence, if they are not, and that independent of the
current place on the line.
