::I dunno if it actually *is* a good point.  Many famous writers, back in the days when they actually *wrote*, on typewriters, or by quill pens or whatever, no matter what wonderful stylists they were, were terrible spellers, for instance.  It took a whole publishing house full of editors to clean up their stuff.  Why should we trust Rosenthal here? It's like the [[Kingston Trio]], in 1990 or so, copyrighting themselves as "The Kingston Trio", with caps on the "The".  Absurd. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 02:36, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

YES that's proper capitalization

I've looked around at this a long time. I've seen it spelled black tape for a blue girl, Black tape for a blue girl, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, but Rosenthal when he writes about it capitalizes every word; and when it's abbreviated its BTFABG, so every word matters. And besides, he's the authority on his own projekt. Russell D. Jones 20:58, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

That's certainly a good point. I'm sure it won't be the last time this subject comes up. You might want to take it to the next level. D. Matt Innis 01:20, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Isn't that the point, that "The Kingston Trio" should be the ones that decide how the write their name? Do we write "the Mary Tyler Moore Show?" Now that would be absurd. D. Matt Innis 03:07, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
