Should I?

I'd say revert.  We don't pothole title drops to Title Drop, that's... no.  Just no.  Likewise adding words to the boldface -- if it's not in the title, it doesn't get bolded.

The eye dialect "wanna" is counter to our house style in this instance, too.  Kill it all.

I won't argue with most of this, nor will I challenge you on this, but I personally am not opposed to the idea of some casual lingo (so long as the meaning is still clear) and a limited use of bollding if it gives emphasis to an idea, but that's just my personal taste, I'll defer to policy if push comes to shove.

Given that Bob's issues are things we discuss in the Style Guide, I'm going along with his vote on this.
