A few line breaks are needed after sentence stops. You can use textproc/igor to check for this and other common man page errors.
Additionally, you need to bump the .Dd to the current date as this is a content change.
Thanks for adding these descriptions.

299	You need to make a line break after a sentence stop.
310	Another line break is needed here.
321	An another line break here.

Add missing line breaks, update date and fix a typo found by igor(1).

These issues are now fixed, thank you for spotting them.

igor(1) still reports the following:

libgeom.3:299:contraction:OID, and returns [it's] value.

I guess it's a false positive?

Not sure about this, a native speaker can probably clear this up.

308	"a bunch of" is a little more colloquial than we average in man pages; "allocates the needed data structures" might be better. Also, "fills in" does not need a hyphen.
330	Either "The .Fn geom_deletetree function" or just ".Fn geom_deletetree", but not halfway in between.
