A few months ago the BBC announced that they were going to stop using ordinary titles in news reports. They would continue to use titles such as president. About time too, I thought.
Just now on BBC Breakfast (sat 23rd aug approx 9:10am) they referred to the home secretary as "Mrs Yvette Cooper" and I was surprised that they seem to have reverted to using titles again and either
A) Yvette Cooper is choosing to use Mrs Cooper despite not being married to a Mr Cooper (although I can think of one person I know who did this upon marriage I don't think its a particularly common move)
Or
B) the BBC reporter chose the wrong title for her.
AIBU to think it's B?
And AIB doubly U to think reverting to using (pointless) titles is a poormmove by the BBC?
