In a manuscript, you usually underline a reference to a title. In print, the titles are in italics. But I may not have a handle on what you're asking, exactly.

That's only for the title of your own work, right? Umm...I guess that's what the question was about. I knew I was missing something.

I may be wrong (someone correct me if I am) but I think you're pretty much to do whatever you want in the title. I think you can pretty much keep or break whatever grammar rules you want, and nobody would care. Titles are pretty much free for whatever you feel like doing.

On the subject of grammar in titles, there's a story (I don't know whether its true or not) that when Anne McAffrey was trying to sell The Ship Who Sang, one editor sent it back (presumably unread), with the title "corrected" to "The Ship That Sang". Posts: 626 | Registered: Jun 2003
