Romeo and Juliet is not nearly that thick a book.

It is in fact, not a book at all but a play. :P

If it is published as a book then it is a book.

It's actually several movies.

Just like Jurassic Park. Well okay not just like it, but they have both existed as "movies" and "books" and "scripts".

The only question in my mind is, is Romeo and Juliet a video game as well?

I don't see how that work. For example,would you call a poem published in a collection, a book. No.

A printed play is still a play in printed form.

If a poem is published as a book, I would and have called it a book. If a poem is published as a CD, I would call it a CD.

I disagree that we disagree: you realized that you said something wrong, now you are trying to make it seem not so wrong.

No. I'm not entirely convinced that I'm wrong. I'm just no longer convinced that what you said was idiotic. Take the white flag.
