Eponymous

[edit]

I saw your edit to Brad Pitt. I believe the word "eponymous" should be formally banned from Wikipedia, even when used correctly. As long as I'm dredging up pet peeves, I also think the word "titular" (usually used in the phrases "titular character" or "titular role" as opposed to "title character" or "title role") should be banned, although I don't feel as strongly about it. In my early editing days at Wikipedia, I once had the temerity to change titular to title and was reverted with some nonsensical edit summary accusing me of dumbing things down.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
