I think your change is correct. The docstring says "monotonically", and it's been written by Martin Buchholz, who is a mathematician. I wrote the NEWS entry. But the entry documents a 21.0 change, so modifying it might be considered "changing history". But I guess spelling fixes should still be fine. (I'm the maintainer of NEWS, btw.) In Croatian, there's only one way to say monotonous/monotonical (the same root, "monoton"), so the related joke goes: Q: Why are maths professors convergent? A: They are monotonous and limited. But then again, I guess translating puns has never been easy.
