commit 79a77c4ec77af8fe665cd5b985ba68ba5615c9e2
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>

    doc/groff.texi.in: Tweak wording.
    
    Use parentheses to our advantage.  Favor "empty" over "delete" as a
    verb.  It could be my overexposure to programming languages, but I think
    of the former as removing the contents of a container, and the latter as
    destroying the container itself (along with any contents).
