Am I Entitled to Entitle this Title?

Heh, heh, heh... More fun from Newsroom101.com:

Who would read a book (titled, entitled) "Thrilling Moments in Grammar"?


The envelope, please...

In an entry for "entitled," the Associated Press Stylebook states: "Use
it to mean a right to do or have something. Do not use it to mean titled."


Do we English majors care about the AP Stylebook? Maybe not, but it makes sense. Since we talke about so many texts with titles, this is useful to know.
