True, but Sara is called MRS Clint in the book.Hashi Lebwohl wrote:A woman need not change her surname when getting married...well, not anymore, that is. It is convention, not a legal requirement.drew wrote:How can two sister's, one of whom is married, keep the same last name?
Her Sister, Amy, is called MS Clint.
As far as I know, A woman uses MRS when she takes on her spouse's name.

Still, it seems a bit too much of a coincidence to me...SRD wrote:Martin Bennett: I haven't yet completed reading Runes, so my answer may come within the pages of the book, but just in case:
Anele | elenA
Is this something to do with the corruption of Time? Both possessed Staffs (staves?), and both lost them. Both were involved in breakages of Law, although not with equal culpability.
What I am trying to say is - is the naming of Anele as the reverse of Elena a coincidence?
Martin Bennett
Yes, it's just a coincidence. I didn't notice the Elena/Anele spelling until a friend pointed out to me--too late for me to do anything about it. Sometimes these things just happen.

It is totally getting off-topic, but I asked a friend in the English Department of the University here (she's a graduate student) and her words was that(if I understood her) was that the married woman who kept her last name would be called "Mizz"... so barring some other title that we don't know about, I'm inclined to say that Ms. would be the correct title...just an FYI, we now return you to your normal discussiondrew wrote:Really?
I think the married would be called Ms.
but this might be getting slightly off topic.
Yes...I believe one of the Giant's name in the search was Rumblegut Brickdropper....
