I noticed http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Deltoid ... Press.html but I thought a military press had to be done standing and the knees locked with heels together and feet angled 90 degrees apart (45 degrees external rotation each leg)

Even for http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Deltoid ... Press.html the standing version his heels aren't even together.

Then there is stuff like http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Deltoid ... Press.html the shoulder press... I'm pretty confused about this and was wondering if the exercise page creators might do a writeup explaining the difference between the two and the intentions?

This is about as perplexing as the way ExRx describes chin up vs. pull up (since it doesn't seem linked to your chin or your grip) but rather the motion of the body in relation to bar so I am wondering if this military/shoulder use also might refer to the bar's path?

A military press is done with feet together and knees locked. i.e. standing at attention. They should have called those exercises "overhead press", and I have no idea what difference there could possibly be between an overhead press and a shoulder press.

Lots of terms aren't used by their strict definition. We just have to live with it as best we can, I guess.

Actually just "press" is the simplest term for that movement.

My opinion is that Military press is only standing by definition. Anything seated is just a barbell overhead press, or shoulder press.
