Ok, I was just wondering if I was missing out on some sexy military fandom.

And though the particular examples you give are indeed silly, there are better applications of this technique. Is it better to always refer to a character by name, no exceptions? It's not just knowing that something exists, it's seeing it employed in different contexts in different ways. You're not just correcting typos and grammar, you're making stylistic choices for others writers and where does that sort of thing end? I mean I get it, you think you're just doing this to stuff that's already awful, but it creates bad habits. It makes you less likely to give something not already suited to your tastes a chance when you may discover it's actually something quite interesting. Of course, you're free to do whatever you want in the privacy of your own browser; I'm just giving the reasons I wouldn't.

I personally think in 99.9% of cases where epithets are used they are merely used out of lazy sentence structure and to avoid repetition of the character's name, when in fact the character's name is more invisible and less jarring. In that .1% instance I could lose an intentional shade of meaning, but it's worth the trade-off to me. I can understand why it wouldn't be to you.

As far as typos go, there's no end to typos. :) I fix those willy-nilly with no regrets, especially when it comes to beloved character names.
