(This was briefly discussed in email
(http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2022-04/msg00001.html) but appears to have
fallen through the cracks. That thread has more detail and discussion.)
This is a request to tweak wording that commit 52604fdd
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=52604fdd> modified to
say: "In ordinary circumstances, this quantity is 120% of the type size."
This is the _typographic_ convention. But nothing in groff makes this 120%
"ordinary": the user must explicitly specify a .vs value that is 120% of her
.ps value in order to make this true. One alternate way to phrase this could
be, "Traditionally, typesetters have set this quantity to 120% of the type
size."
