Which is the equivalent of “Entitled”, whereby one’s deserving of, as opposed to “Titled” where someone’s already honored? The term “entitled” when used to refer to how something is titled, is just confusing usage. An article in Wikipedia is titled “The Article was… ”

The verbs entitle and title are synonyms. As a noun, title is a noun and entitle is not. Title does not denote an adjective I no longer need: the title story or the story from the book the title story gets its title from, entitle. I was entitled to the deduction. How would you describe income taxes?

The verb entitle regards the given name when taken as a more distinguished feature of an object, more than the verb title.

If you says

the book is titled “Far away from here” then you are so wrong.

Is the book about travels far away from the hotel? (Was it called

far away from here?)

you are implying some sort of preference, either that you liked the book, or that the title was appropriate, or that the book has become famous, or that you want to suggest peopleto read it, something that gives to the book more than a simple title.

I entitle this book to her name.

I am giving this book something special by giving it a title of more importance to me suggests strong emotions.

The director wanted to do a title in the movie “Loud Air”.

Meaning what it means. What is the meaning of Entitle or Infinite unless you’re saying a more profound or interesting phrase about the film or director?

In your sentence “I really liked…” suggests preference, honor, and, although titled and entitled are both correct, entitled suggests “appropriately titled” or “nicely titled” which is what the author really wanted to express.

According to dictionary. com, ‘title’ as a verb means “to furnish with a title; designate by an appellation; entitle.” ” I conclude both are acceptable. I think I tend to use ‘titled’ preferentially, probably because it’s shorter.
