The fuck? That's the correct way to write a title.

I never said it wasn't. I just said it was the one out of their examples that I personally dislike.

(But if you absolutely must go there, you should be aware that it's not "the correct way" in many countries.)

Not really. It's not necessarily wrong, but formal title case in English, in accordance with APA and other technical style systems, doesn't capitalize short function words like "in" and "the". (If you're really strict about adhering to, like, Chicago style, even longer ones like "between" aren't capitalized. But that tends to look weird to people, despite being "correct".)

...huh? That's what I said. An Adventure in the Jungle is the example we're talking about.

Oh, sorry, misread your comment - I thought your "the fuck?" was an expression of disbelief that the AYRT didn't care for their last example. Nvm!

And unless they're part of a proper noun, like if the adventure was in a swanky theme club actually named The Jungle.

(And you'd walk in and hear 'Welcome to the Jungle' on repeat while in line. And for special events there would be a magnum cocktail named 'Watch out for that Tree!')
