If you find some, it maybe a good idea to add them to your answer. Titles of books (which are often shortened due to space limitations) and poems are not reliable examples of usage. Is this acceptable in speech? Is it acceptable in an academic paper? What about a formal business email? If it is not appropriate under certain circumstances (those that I mentioned), it might be a good idea to mention that in your answer. | |
