Subject: RE: BS: The most pertinacious errors
Steve Parkes: Point taken re the title[s]; but there are many precedents for abbreviated or summarising titles for works with more elaborate titles being generally accepted for everyday intercourse when speaking of them: as ~~tom jones wiki
The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which is to Come, Delivered under the Similitude of a DREAM [Bunyan]; The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman [Sterne]; The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling [Fielding]; The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account) [Dickens].

So I feel no obligation to apolgise for Alice In Wonderland ~~ although, I repeat, I do take your point.
