 Sometimes they were treated quite unkindly. It's a lot quicker, after all, to kick a gremlin away (to acknowledge that you know you made a typo & convey to others that they might need to reread with a typo in mind to get the intended meaning) than to make a whole affair of it. And kicking was a tame example of the ways typo gremlins were occasionally punished. Out of that, I suspect, was born typo gremlin sympathy.
-One player wrote a sanctuary for mistreated typo gremlins into their home; one player built the Improbable Island Free Public Library (D6) staffed by gremlins. The bar in the Common Ground with a gremlin bartender called Cookie((whose name and dialogue were I believe `v in colour, though possibly `V))((if anyone remembers the name of the bar, please share it, I'm not sure if that was a thing or not)) was a collaboration, and used and acknowledged by more or less everyone who used the space, which was a lot of people, back then.

 Gremlins were useful, they were fun to write (because if you made any further mistakes while rattling off dialogue deliberately riddled with typos, nobody could tell), and they were a cute part of island lore.
