I noticed the phrase "Your message entitled" in the Board post
acknowledgements.  Here's an interesting article about the use of the word
"titled" vs. "entitled", and how it has changed over the past couple of
centuries.

"Titled" apparently prevails by a 3:1 margin here in the 21st century, but
"entitled" was the clear preference in the 19th century and through the
first half of the 20th century.  Interesting but probably useless factoid.
