Sadly, it doesn't seem to work for article titles - and I would not have bothered an author about awkward usage anywhere other than the title or subtitle (the parts that readers see when they are perusing - deciding what to spend time on). I'll probably give it a full day, figure the author's seen it, then delete.

BTW, would you bother to read something with a title with issues (spelling, usage, grammar)? I typically give 'em a hard pass. There's lots that's good on Medium, also a lot that's not.
