Once it gets in, if it's used by other sources not under your control, you're doomed to leave it in in some form or another - at the very least adding the corrected one, redirecting the misspelled one to the correct one and deprecating the former.
The real question is: how come nobody checks anything before releasing? At least the interface functions should be checked and documented before release so have the time to make the necessary changes.

Because deep down we're evil and malicious. If it was hard to write it should be harder to understand and debug.

Now, that's the answer I was looking for! The other stuff, I get; no mysteries. Evil - now that answers it.

Is this a snippet from Nitin Sawant's code? If so, that might go a long way towards explaining why his co-workers hate him.

On a related note, the system I work on has a couple of million data collection points. Sometimes there are spelling errors in the point names; while it may seem prudent to correct them, if those points are used in calculations, that causes the calculation to fail... but only when the calculation engine is restarted. Otherwise, the calculation engine parses the input names at load time and then uses the internal point reference number - something that never changes.
Some of the layered products (displays, etc.) use the collection point name, but, the newer products are maintaining the internal point reference number and, when a point is renamed, the change is made auto-magically in the newer products.
So.. there is hope.

I think it's intensional, done just for the simple joy of watching people with OCD go nuts.

Sounds like a Southerner (from the US South) wrote that method because it's spelled like they talk.

Throwing the slug with string and a short ritual? (7)

Which means I'm up again on Monday.
Anyone want to give the solution?

Correct!
Cordite[^] is the explosive often used instead of gunpowder in bullet making.

I was watching this band at the local bar last weekend and the guitar player was phenomenal. So being a guitar player myself I got up and stood right in front to watch him play up close. After a while, he says to me “If you don’t back off I’m going to hit you with the neck of this guitar.” So I asked him “Is that a fret?”
I'll get my coat... have a great weekend.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Yeah, I can't see any of them taking acoutic and hitting you with it, except maybe on a Friday night in San Francisco...

I'm kind of sober introvert person who is workaholic and too much technical.
First random co-workers passed obscene comments which I ignored as I was new joinee,
After that I'm being ostracized at workplace - going solo for lunch, snacks, coffee etc.
Again I ignored it, I felt tremendous mental trauma and somehow I completed 1 yrs at the organization as it is one of the top IT company.
- Now I resigned and random co-workers are defaming me.
- Even when I go for interview at random company some people wearing black clothes come and do sledging.
How do I deal with such situation.
I wonder what are the companies which hire remote C# developers globally?
