For example: Phinesha Smith-Jones, Director of HeadStart Physics and Math Initiatives (uhm, how bout just "Director, HeadStart Science). And what's with the hyphenated names? But that's a previous post. Here's another: Dr. Sarah Jayne Tyler, B.s., A.b.c.
Okay, being a bit silly here, but not too silly to notice the women's titles tend to, not only be lengthy, but ... eh, tend to stretch things a bit. But atleast the gal with the bs degree has a real first name ;/ Yep, see alot of that too, and sorry - NOT sorry - have to wonder if there's not a ton of baggage brought along to the workplace.
Meanwhile, men have regular names: Bob, Tyrone, George...
I agree with the hyphenated thing. Either change your name, or keep your given name when married, and if they do change their name, keep the old one for business purposes.
