Ah, so you ignored my comment in post #248: It wasn't changed, just shortened. I can go on Amazon right now and get the book and it will be listed under its full name of On the Origin of Species: By means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
I have a copy and the title was changed. “Shortened” is called edited. Changed. I looked just now at a different book seller and it’s the changed version.

Just looked on amazon and it’s the edited title, the changed one.

Yes it was. Don’t you know?

Title today, “On the Origin of species.”

Original title: “On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for survival.”

Abreviating the title isnt the same thing as changing it. The full title of the book is still the latter.

Yes it certainly is. When words are removed from an original piece it’s called “editing” and it is changing it. That you don’t like it doesn’t changed what “editing” means.

This is what I see on Amazon:

And yet, the book can still be found listed under it's full name.

I added an excerpt from the inside of the book as well (per Amazon's preview). The full title is preserved there as well.
I believe you. The copy I have was edited removing that. You know, I only need to present one copy where it was edited because logically Im not saying all but you are saying none. One disproves your point whereas as your example fails to disprove mine.

And yet many copies removed the full title. That was my point and it stands.
Not only that, but they change of the the words also, when they just call the book, "Origins."

Since it is "Origin" -- singular.

You said it can be found. That is a far cry from “many.” You provided one. My point stands.

No, it doesn't. The book under the full title can be found easily and quickly, that does not mean that it has been changed for whatever reason you think it has.
Your point does not stand.

Just went a few rounds with a poster on that one. I said the title was changed and they insist it wasn’t because it is possible to find the work with the original title if one looks hard enough.

I give up. None is so blind as those who refuse to see.

Unless they are the parent. No mother tobe calls their developing child “tissue.”
Either way, it gets passed through the fire [saline] to Molech (the god of abortion/child sacrifice).

I often shorten it to "The Preservation of Favoured Races," and they have a cow over it.

I guess they think they're the only ones qualified to shorten the title.
