Another silly game part 61

Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game:

1. Please play on the most recent correct post.

2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.

3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.

4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the").

5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."

6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown in a LT library listing, or on the title page of the book. A sub-title or a series name can be included if the sub-title or series name is included in the title of a LT library listing, or is printed on the title page of the book.

7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.

8. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.

9. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an HTML link.

Hint: When you post and go to the top of the page, you will see xxx / xxx read. If the second number is only one more than the first number, then you can be sure no other post is between yours and the one to which you are replying.
200 / 201 read means my post 201 was next in line.
200 / 203 read means there were others in between.
Seems backward to me. Looks like it would be
200 read / 201. Oh, well. lol
When all else fails, you can scroll back to verify that there are none between your post and the one to which you are replying.
Hope that helps.
Edit 2: When you discover that your post is out of alignment, you don't need to delete it and re-post. Just edit. Saves a little bandwidth. That may not matter so much on a site this big, though. ;-)

Rule 7 says a hyphenated word is one word. Question: Is "1917-1963" a correct answer to one of those dates, as RolandPerkins used it in #198? Just asking...

Truth and Bright Water by Thomas King.

I think "1917-1963" isn't a hypenated word...the "-" means "to" just like "&" means "and".

On 230:

"the "-" means "to".
I agree, Lynn B. In fact I never thought of "1917-1963"
as a hyphenated word; I thought of it as 3 words(of which the 1st and 3rd are, in fact hyphenated, if written out in letters) and the second word is "to".

But I would never, in writing out the title, convert the digits to letters, --not in any thread which
Schmerguls (or one other member) was likely to join. Nor would I write an "an d" where my source had an "&".

I donʻt agree, in principle, that ( See 187) "ALL the posts" after 160 "responded to 159". Actually only 160 responded to 159; the subsequent ones responded to the ONE post immediately before them.

Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth by Joe Conason
