My, my, Sis. Pauline, you have pushed my button (one of many buttons from which I suffer )...
With regard to the word "entitle," may I mention this: In the early 1970s I became employed by one of the largest federal (US) agencies and was sent to their "school" (i.e., classroom instruction all day) for 3 months. During our first week of training, we spent 2 hours learning the meaning of "entitlement" from the agency's standpoint. The word had to do with becoming due an agency payment. "Entitlement" was contrasted with the word "eligibility," a word defined by the agency as having a potential for entitlement. A claimant (i.e., a person eligible for some sort of payment) could move from eligibility to establishing entitlement. That required submitting an application along with legal evidence (e.g., birth certificate, marriage certificate, tax return depending on the type of application) sufficient to result in approval. That led to payment(s).
When I finished my training and attacked the job, I experienced the importance of the distinction between the two words (eligibility and entitlement). Some folks would come into the office and merely discuss eligibility/entitlement (asking questions and getting answers), then leave without submitting a signed application. A month or three later, they'd call the office, saying (usually with attitude ): "Where is my money!?"
It usually took all the patience and humility I could muster to deal with the misunderstanding at that point.
