Talk:Titular character

Please don't link to this redirect. "Titular character" is a misuse of the word "titular", used by people who think it's a fancier version of "title character". It's like say "Whom is coming to dinner" just because you think whom sounds more sophisticated. "Titular ______" is supposed to mean "the [thing] referred to in the title", such as Horton being "the titular elephant in Horton Hears a Who" or Batman being "the titular hero of The Dark Knight Rises". If you want to say that someone is the title character, just say "title character" rather than showing off that you don't really understand what "titular" means. Thanks. -Jason A.
