Colon

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

At no point in my copy of the work, is the title ever presented with a colon.

The cover features the simple Not So Quiet..., and the title given in the book amends the subtitle Stepdaughters of the War. However, no colon is ever presented.

One use of the colon is "separation of a title and the corresponding subtitle". Often as not, the cover and title page will show the title & subtitle on different lines and using different font sizes, so they don't need the colon to show you where the subtitle begins and the main title ends. But when writing the title out, you need that colon. The University of Sussex says the same thing. Fishal (talk) 04:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

In this case the ellipsis (. . .) is integral to the title. You will find it used extensively throughout the text of the novel. So the colon is an incorrect alteration of the title.

Seconded: this Paris Review article uses the ellipsis exclusively. --Akhenaten0 (talk) 18:28, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
