You can say that a book is entitled "so and so," but to say that it's titled might be a more elegant and middle-of-the-road solution.

It doesn't take a large leap of imagination to see how this blog might be read by someone who is working on his or her first book. To those of you who are working on novels, we wish the best of luck, offer some advice, and present you with a conundrum-will you title your book, or will you entitle it? Because, depending on who you ask, you might be able to do either, or you might just be able to title it. This warrants a deeper look.

Title the Verb and How to Use It

Title can be a noun and a verb. For the purposes of the entitled vs. titled debate, the verb is more interesting to us. To title something means to give it a name:

Nurturing another great love, last month Odom released his self-titled debut album of jazz and Broadway classics on S-Curve Records. - Forbes

The bestselling writer, who resigned from his New Yorker gig and lost his whiz-kid reputation in 2012 when the public learned that his book "Imagine" included made-up quotes attributed to Bob Dylan, is out with a new work titled "A Book About Love." - The Washington Post

Titled can also be an adjective that describes people who have high social status or rank:

The community leaders and titled chiefs from different towns in the state backed Ogah at a meeting at Ogah's Campaign Office in Umuahia. - Punch

Entitle and How to Use It

But it's not the verb title that people find strange when talking about naming books or papers or works of art. Entitle is the verb that some deem objectionable for use in the context of giving names, even though this is one of the meanings the verb can have:

The book, entitled Stand Up China 2017 - China's Hope: What I Learned During Five Years as a Political Prisoner, was published this week in Taiwan. - The Guardian

The book entitled ZIKA: The Emerging Epidemic is set to be published on July 6, 2016, just a month before the August Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics. - Science World Report

The thing about entitle that rubs some people the wrong way is the other meaning the verb might have-"to give the right":

A Fair Work Ombudsman spokeswoman said the national minimum wage would have entitled him to $16.87 per hour, equating to about $641 per 38-hour week. - Herald Sun

Hamilton was ahead on a line that entitled him to turn in, the stewards concluded. - The Guardian

This is the main definition of entitled when it's used as an adjective. When we call people entitled, we are saying that they believe they have a right or privilege they don't actually have:

You may have seen it, or felt it-that phenomenon that seems to have taken over kids in recent years and turned them into entitled, me-centric beings? - Today

Clearly, the reputation of entitle as a verb that means "to give a name" is damaged by the other meaning of entitle-"to give a right." And the adjective entitled isn't helping either. So, while you technically are entitled to use the verb entitle in both its senses, a case can be made that title would be a better choice for the sense the two verbs share.

PYONGYANG, North Korea - Kim Jong Un's regime isn't worried about a lack of bonding damaging a unified Korean bid for a "miracle on ice" at next month's Winter Olympics.

North and South Korea technically remain at war - but that won't stop their women's hockey players from forming a single team at the PyeongChang Games amid a recent thaw in relations between the two nations. The joint hockey squad was approved on Saturday.

Han Ho Chul, the executive secretary of North Korea's Olympic Committee, told NBC News that there was no question that the athletes would gel before hitting the rink against Switzerland on Feb. 10.

"We are the same people who share the same language, same culture and same blood," he said. "I'm sure they will work together fine."

Han added that the Olympics would "show the world that North and South are the same people, same nation."

South Korean President Moon Jae-in views the PyeongChang Games as an opportunity to improve relations after a year of tension over North Korea's nuclear weapons program. He believes the unified team will provide a "historically grand moment" once it appears on ice.

The International Olympic Committee issued exceptional entries to 22 North Korean athletes to allow them to take part in the games.

Other reconciliatory gestures the Koreas have agreed to for the Olympics include a joint march under a blue-and-white "unification" flag at the Feb. 9 opening ceremony.

The IOC ruled that three members of the unified women's hockey team must be of North Korean origin for each game.

The South Korean team's coach, Sarah Murray, a Canadian, has expressed concerns about how the new players from the North will fit in.

"Adding somebody so close to the Olympics is a little bit dangerous just for team chemistry because the girls have been together for so long," she said.

The Koreas sent joint teams to major international sporting events twice in 1991, and had their athletes march together in the opening and closing ceremonies of several sporting events in the 2000s, including the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics.

The Korean War ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty in 1953 - meaning the countries officially remain at war. They now share the most heavily guarded border on the planet.

A Korean folk song, "Arirang," will be played before the hockey games instead of either national anthem."

Lester Holt reported from Pyongyang, and Jason Cumming from London.

NBC announced it would bring back former employee Katie Couric to co-host the opening ceremony of next month's Winter Olympics, a surprise move following the network's announcement that new NBC News star Megyn Kelly wouldn't travel to South Korea for the Pyeongchang Games.

"The announcement certainly raised my eyebrow," Mediaite columnist Joseph A. Wulfsohn told Fox News. "I think it's ideal for any network to rely on in-house talent, but NBC has faced lots of inner turmoil in recent months."

Couric will work alongside Mike Tirico, who is replacing Bob Costas as prime-time host of the games, for the opening ceremony on Feb. 9. She has hosted three previous opening ceremonies with Costas, with the most recent dating back to 2004.

NBC passing over Kelly has not gone unnoticed in the halls of Rockefeller Center. An industry insider who did not want to be named because of a relationship with NBC said the move is "definitely a slap in the face to Megyn."

"It was already bad enough that they weren't sending the star they're paying $23 million a year to Pyeonchang. But now they're bringing in a nonemployee to fill a vacancy," the insider told Fox News. "Yeah, one wonders what's up with that and how Kelly feels about all of this."

Also passed over are "Today" co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. NBC has traditionally used "Today" personalities to host the opening ceremonies. (Couric was a longtime "Today" host.)

"It seems like an attempt to twist the optics and take viewers back to a time when they felt good about the network."
- Editor of The Daily Caller's "Mirror" blog, Betsy Rothstein.

"It seems like an attempt to twist the optics and take viewers back to a time when they felt good about the network," the editor of The Daily Caller's "Mirror" blog, Betsy Rothstein, told Fox News.

The Olympics represent a command performance for any high-profile star or executive at the Peacock Network, which has paid nearly $1 billion to broadcast the premier sporting event. Media analyst Jeffrey McCall said it's "really confusing" why NBC would use the "long-forgotten" Couric for the high-profile gig.

NBC traditionally sends its entire panoply of news stars to the games, and true to form, both the "Today" show and "Nightly News" will broadcast live from Pyeongchang for the duration of the competition, focusing their news programs almost entirely on Olympics coverage.

"There could be several reasons for not putting Megyn Kelly in this role, but surely some other established or up-and-coming NBC personality could manage these duties in a professional fashion," McCall said. "That would allow NBC to boost the brand of that personality for future high-profile occasions."

Former ESPN reporter Britt McHenry is now a conservative commentator, but still has deep ties to the sports industry. She told Fox News that she respects Couric but would have preferred to see NBC highlight some of the women working in sports whom young girls admire.

"The first thing that came to my mind was why not use one of the really talented sports reporters or personalities employed by NBC Sports? As someone who's always looked up to SNF's Michele Tafoya, I wondered why she wouldn't be chosen, or soccer host Rebecca Lowe," McHenry said.

NBC News stars heading to South Korea include Guthrie, Kotb, Al Roker, Natalie Morales, Willie Geist, Craig Melvin, Lester Holt and Dylan Dreyer. NBC News is also sending at least eight on-air correspondents including legendary foreign correspondent Richard Engel, and even NBCNews.com is sending a correspondent, Eric Ortiz, to report for an exclusive SnapChat show.

During the Olympics, "Today" will broadcast from South Korea from the legendary "Portable Olympic Pavilion," which has been used in multiple previous games.
