 __**A Short Summary of the History of Typo Gremlins, in lieu of a better description of them**__
-Once upon a time((early season two. and quite possibly earlier.)), there was no /grem chat function, and any typos and mistakes that got posted were there to stay unless they incurred the wrath of a moderator. Naturally, to vent their frustrations & explain any misunderstandings, the playerbase invented a creature to blame for it.
+Once upon a time((going back as far as early season two, and quite possibly earlier)), there was no /grem chat function, and any typos and mistakes that got posted were there to stay unless they incurred the wrath of a moderator. Naturally, to vent their frustrations & explain any misunderstandings, the playerbase invented a creature to blame for it.
 (Not the first time humans have done this. According to wikipedia, gremlins have their origins in 20th century aviation, where they were, of course, blamed for things going wrong that were probably already someone's fault. We followed in a proud tradition here, folks.)

-This new feature, combined with the changing playerbase, led to typo gremlins drifting mostly out of the world of roleplay. At present, the Free Public Library at D6 remains, and the Typo Gremlin Sanctuary is a glint in the eye of a player who might find themself stirred to bring it back. And gremlins are immortalised as at //least// one monster description, //and// a chat function that spares us much social embarrassment.

 (This is inherently a flawed and //extremely// incomplete history & description. If anyone wishes to, please add what you remember, or make this page more useful. This was written out of a sudden flood of nostalgia and a desire to procrastinate chores.)
