I was thinking that when we list books with "The" in them we should list them as so...

Just for example... "The Comix Book"

Listed as: "Comix Book, The"

Cool?

Mucho agreed.  I was thinking along those exact same lines.

Also "Bozo; The Adventures of".  Hmm.  I do believe the proper punctuation for this situation is the semi-colon.

There will probably be some questionable items.  Which of these would be acceptable?

Ok... This is fine by me and I see your point. I guess I would just look how Kennedy listed it and rule from there.

I fixed some more "The" this morning but there is still a lot to do. I will try and keep after it as I get more time.

I looked at my last post this morning above and corrected it because I had no clue what I was talking about with ";". So although I have been fixing things, I was using "," instead of ";"...  :BangHead:

You've no idea how many times I've edited a single entry because I kept forgetting multiple things.  I'd see one, and correct it.  Then I'd see another, and correct that.  And so on, and so on...

All on one freakin' entry!
