Did I miss someting?  Why is "The Revenge of Khan" referred to
as TWOK?  Is it really called "The Wevenge of Khan?"  Stwange!

The movie is called "The Wrath of Khan", though it is about the 
revenge of Khan, and in the movie itself everybody refers to Khan's 
'revenge'.  I believe it was renamed from 'revenge of' to 'wrath of'
to avoid conflicts with the title of the upcoming Star Wars movie,
which is 'Revenge of...'

No no no . . . it's the WRATH of Khan and the REVENGE of the Jedi,
not the other way around!
 
How about using ST-2 and SW-3 respectively . . . no, a 1 character 
typo could change the meaning. Trek-2 and SWar-3, then?

I believe that the W in TWoK stands for Wrath.  Not sure where you got
revenge.
