I didn't say that anything should be changed - I happen to be sitting next to the bookshelf with that book on, and so I checked. Wikipedia tells me that the full title is "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Mine is an n-zillionth edition reprint with a modern cover, so is using the popular name. My point - in as much as there is one - would be that there isn't really a right answer and it doesn't matter. Still, it's something to talk about while the pasta boils.

More interesting (to me) is how Bob changed the text of the poll - how do you edit that?
