Why Do the Titles of Scholarly Works Sometimes Begin with the Word 'On'?
- DamonHD 9y agoWell, thank you for that thought! I'm renaming 70-odd of my articles right now from "A Note On X" to "On X" as a useful compaction, and almost all the titles seem fine just deleting the existing initial two words. Not that I'm claiming to rub shoulders with Darwin and pals.
- madcaptenor 9y agoYou could even get rid of "On". Most people probably think Darwin's magnum opus is titled "The Origin of Species" anyway.

- aisofteng 9y agoFrom the numerous oddly wrong answers and their votes, it seems that too many people just don't read.
