Grammar question. Is it correct to say, "These need to be put into two separate binders and they can be entitled "2006 Stuff."
(Note: I did not say this. It was overheard.)
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Aimée, I think that binders can be titled, but I don't think they're entitled to anything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"These need to be put into two seperate binders and they can be entitled "2006 Stuff."
To me, it seems ambiguous - is the putting into two separate binders required before they can be entitled "2006 stuff," or are the two independent?
edit for spelling....

Yes.
Personally, I think using "entitled" is completely wrong.
The reason I ask, is that the person who said it is very critical of other people's grammar to the point that she won't promote people if it's not up to her standards, yet hers is completely atrocious, at times.

Hmm... one on-line definition of entitled:
given a title or identifying name; "the book entitled `A Tale of Two Cities'"
Or is the issue that she's using it as a verb?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That whole thing sounds jackass, Aimee, technically wrong or not.
SAYS ME.
My entire day has been a boondoggle -- I spent hours getting to and from a meeting in New Jersey with my predecessor, then a long lunch with two co-workers, then a very minor amount of Actual Work. I guess I should still do more before I leave today.....

This is a woman who CONSTANTLY uses the words, "am-bah-lance" and "lie-berry". Andnot being funny, either. IN MEETINGS. In all seriousness.
