Things wordy, geeky, and webbyRemoving the Colon
Sunday, January 11th, 2004 at 10:50 AM |No Mark of Distinction talks about book publishers who are considering removing colons from book titles. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, titles are getting ridiculously long thanks to the colon. However, I understand publishers are trying to stay it all with the title since people are in a hurry and rarely even take the time to read the synopsis.
On the other hand, just create a danged title that is short and to the point. On the other hand, a complete title motivates people to buy the book.
Yeah, thank goodness there are no ; in book titles!
