It's not spelled like that.
Page 3 of 3 — more titles the crowd reliably gets wrong.
- West Side Story: The MusicalWest Side StoryLeonard Bernstein & Stephen Sondheim — film (1957)
Why it slips The Broadway title has no subtitle. "The Musical" appears only in playbill sub-headings.
- Will I Amwill.i.amWilliam Adams — album (1992)
Why it slips All lowercase, periods as separators, no spaces. Citations in academic contexts often reformat it as "Will.i.am" or the three-word version.
- Winnie the PoohWinnie-the-PoohA.A. Milne — book (1926)
Why it slips Milne used hyphens throughout — he invented the name as a mouthful, not a title. Disney dropped them when they licensed the character in 1961.
- X-Men: Days of Futures PastX-Men: Days of Future PastBryan Singer — film (2014)
Why it slips "Future Past" (singular) is a time-travel conceit, not a typo. Reviewers pluralised it reflexively; the grammatical oddity is the point.
