What is interesting is that when asked in chat Cordovan didn't affirm that this was the Monk class pass. Who knows if that was him being stupid, or if further Monk work is pending.
They don't tell him anything, because why bother?
Also, he doesn't tell them anything that happens on the MoBo, even if it's info the devs have come specifically looking for.
I think there's a lot of quid-
nor-quo. "Why Bother?" is kinda their corporate motto.

It was probably only sparked by Lynabell's internship and her efforts making similar typo corrections before she left, but I don't care what brought about the sudden interest in fixing years old errors, I'm just glad they finally decided to spend 8 hours of dev time getting them done.
It seems more likely the remainder of work she'd done. Does anyone know what her official intern tasks were? Was her slack-off time not even tangentially related, or was she actually there to fix different, less-front-facing bugs? I mean, they obviously didn't have to elevate her privileges or anything. Otherwise the typos just would've stayed.
Maybe I'm wondering because they've done more polish-related fixes recently than I've ... ever ... seen. (We'd probably be able to notice them better if they weren't introduced side-by-side with shit like new typos & optionals accidentally adding to ransack.)
It's generally harder to notice when something stops bothering you than it is to notice when it
starts. I was on a mule last week and the bank window just closed itself three seconds after opening. It reminded me: Wait, that shit used to happen every time! Buttloads of tiny irritating crap like that remain, but a surprising number (read: more than zero) of actual QoL bugs have been fixed. Not that it's wise to be fair to Turbine (because they usually just take that sort of thing and use it to screw you), but I like this trend better than the old one.
