Parsnip Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I probably should have said something before now but is it possible to get the 'w' in 'watch (in the thread title) capitalised? Or failing that, get the 'W' in 'Wardrobe' made lower case and have a full stop at the end? Preferably the 'w' in 'watch' capitalised though please. It's been annoying me for months and i really don't want to get to 200 pages and still be in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapping Defoe for Martin. I am pro Martin, but from their side I can only see that as like us swapping Martin for Vydra in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's possible to argue that Martin's title is the Wardrobe (cap W) akin to Asimov's character the Mule in the Foundation series, and therefore that "The Wardrobe watch" is entirely correct in its capitalization.

It's been annoying me for months and i really don't want to get to 200 pages and still be in this mess. Sorry, but you've got this all wrong. In my opinion the capitalisation is correct. "The Wardrobe" is the nickname we give Chrissy Martin, so it must be in capital letters. As for the word "watch" - this is just a regular word in the title, and should stay lower case. Capitalising every word in a title/headline is a bad habit that too many people do. It's not best practise for copywriters as it generally makes titles harder to read (more so for longer page titles than in this instance). Leave the thread title alone! EDIT: Just seen @Carl Sagan's response to Parsnip's post. Prolly didn't need to twist the knife here - sorry @Parsnip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 On the one hand I'm happy. It's been pointed out to me that I'm wrong. The title is correct. I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I'm comfortable admitting being wrong - it's something I do on a daily basis. But on the other hand I feel sad. @Carl Sagan, @cosmic & @angieram were needlessly scathing in their replies. In fact i'd go as far as to say that I've become subject to THE SINGLE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF A POSTER IN DCFCFANS HISTORY. So I'll be taking some time out from the forum whilst I prepare myself to forgive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back anyway, glad your period of reflection has helped you forgive and forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
