pet peeve revisited
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 awesomegnatkip I have now indeed found a script that will do this word replacement for me. Greasemonkey to the rescue.

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.
