pet peeve revisited

[ratcreature]

I know I have ranted about the usage of "Spock Prime" in the narrative and dialog just a few days ago, but since then I've come across this far more often. Like every day I see stories doing this. More than one. It occurs even in stories that I found on rec lists, not through random, at-your-own-risk browsing. (In case you're wondering, musesfool recced this offender.) Just, WTF? This is getting out of hand if you can't even trust recs to protect you.

Please tell me that some fan somewhere has written a Greasemonkey script or something to do word replacements on the fly in your browser to fix epithets, and I can adapt this to replace every "Spock Prime" with "Ambassador Spock".

ETA: Thanks to the awesome gnatkip I have now indeed found a script that will do this word replacement for me. Greasemonkey to the rescue.

Hee. There actually are a bunch of curse-censor scripts that you can stick your own strings into. Jmaxxz vulgar word blocker, Word Change. (I haven't tried those.)

Yay! I must try this. Seriously this has been driving me crazy. I mean, not just that characters call Spock bizarre OOC names, but why on earth would they start counting universes starting from one that is not theirs?! It just doesn't make sense.

The word changer works! Now I can just enable my script and tis get fixed! <3!<3!

Yayes!

I was just looking at the word list on the other one, thinking how porn would read with it.

He pushed one, two, three fingers into his lover's quivering NITWIT, and then FLIPPED him hard. "Oh yes, squeeze my WERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. FLIP my JERK. FLIP my JERK harder."

While hilarious that would be inconvenient. I guess my editing needs are very, very specific, so that the word change one didn't come with a pre-defined list worked out well.
