When I got home from work today, I had an interesting message on my answering machine.  Mike Reed has requested that ‘Mr. Akaemi B.’ please return his call.

It has long been tradition that married women are referred to as ‘Mrs. the-husband’s first and last name.’  It is nice to see the trend moving in the other direction; men being referred to as ‘Mr. the wife’s name.’  I wonder, though, should it be ‘Mr. the wife’s maiden name’?  Perhaps I will ask Mr. Reed when I return his call.
