"Monotonous tranformations" seems unfair

I really appreciate the sense of humour use in some of the study material. Varian is a great example, no kidding.

What we are calling a"monotonic transformation" is, strictly speaking, called a "positive monotonic transformation", in order to distinguish
it from a "negative montonic transformation", which is one that reverses the order of numbers.
Monotonic transformations are sometimes called "monotonous tranformations", which seems unfair, since they can actually be quite interesting.
