Comment (by nickm):

 Tweaked and applied.

 > There are also instances of people which can be replaced with either
 users or tor-specific components such as OR, OP, etc.

 +1 to replacing people with relays where appropriate, since that's more
 clear.

 -0 on replacing people with users in the general case.  Users are people.

 -1 on introducing more uses of OP; that term never caught on. +1 on saying
 "tor client", and possibly on replacing OP in more places.

 +0 on retaining "bad guy" as a term of art.
