I can confirm that replacing words does not work in titles. I’ve tested this on my local dev site and on my production site. My assumption is that this is the intended behaviour, but it would be great if someone else from the Discourse team could confirm that.

I can see why replacing words in titles could be useful, but wonder if it could also cause issues with topic slugs.
