Dear Ann Landers,
y cousin is engaged to marry a chiropodist. She introduces him as Dr. Ingemar Strudel- grubber, which, of course, is not his real name. Her emphasis is on the word "doctor" to give the impression he is a brain surgeon or something. I think it would be more honest if she introduced him as Ingemar Strudelgrubber and added, "He is a chiropodist." What is your opinion?-Just Asking

Dear Asking,
A chiropodist is a foot doctor who has earned the professional title. He doesn't need to be a brain surgeon to be called doctor. So your cousin can go right ahead and intro-duce her fiance as Dr. Ingemar Strudelgrubber-and I'm happy it's not his real name, too.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
