Wood On Words
Can’t get enough words about words with Sunday’s newspaper column? Then this blog’s for you, my word-craving friend. I work the late shift, so don’t look for responses until the next day.

Entitlement 101

I still see this one misused occasionally. Use “titled,” NOT “entitled,” when giving the name of a movie, book, song, etc. For example:

One of my favorite books is titled “The Immense Journey” by Loren Eiseley.

You’re entitled to your own opinion on this point, but use “titled.”
