AP says (in 1987) that you give a man's full name first, then you refer to him by just his last name after that. Makes sense, right?
But women -- you refer to them by their full name first, then you refer to them as Miss, Ms. or Mrs. Such-and-Such. Does this sound mixed up to anyone else? (I'm pretty sure AP doesn't do this anymore, but it seems like someone else still does.)

Those dogs who wrote the AP style book need all the help finding single women they can get. :)
lol :) -- what does that mean for me??
Means you need to have all your by-lines use "Miss Edge of Iowa". ;-)
