@jason-mcgowan Thanks for catching this. @brianschubert Thanks for checking for more. Others have done this before, so I am surprised that this one got missed. Maybe just an oversight in the last round.

Other occurrences, limited to triple quoted docstrings, omitting tests, as I was getting too much noise otherwise:

Great! May I include this in #135964?

Hi, @StanFromIreland friendly pinging here. These typos you've mentioned are still in the main branch, would you like me to open a PR to fix it?

You can fix the public one if you wish, though it's not high priority, I'm 0 on the others.
