Weaves and reWeaves

Today marks the end of one of the largest behind-the-scenes
projects ever undertaken here in Achaea. One of our admins took it
upon himself to repair a huge number of typos, Americanisms, and
other such. This took form as corrections to:
- over 60 different help scrolls
- about 100 different ab/skill scrolls
- approximately 200 quests
- 3,967 rooms, and
- 37,256 items and things

Yes, over forty THOUSAND changes were accomplished in the last few
RL months in this project.

In other news, all of which seems so small in comparison:
- several new admin/immortal features have been added
- numerous more cases have been added to fine-tune pluralisation
(such as panties, robes, fish, etc)
- several new variations on the infamy titles so that the truly
hard-core infamous can have a better idea of how many RL YEARS
it'll be till they are no longer infamous (just kidding about
the years!)

- and CREDITS FOR SALE has been given a big speedup. Turns out we
have a number of people out there *peer* who are constantly
checking CFS, hoping for the quick kill. That's fine, but it
resulted in some serious performance considerations because the
list had to be recreated again and again each time somebody asked.
This should be MUCH faster now, thanks to our Magic Man, Aeyr, the
God of Magic and other cool stuff.

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Miraman, in the year 386 AF.
