Re: NY Times Review

<< 
Decent review, but what is with calling everyone "mister" over and over again 
throughout the article.  Very annoying and repetitious.  The NY Times should 
be publishing better, or someone should have told this writer that the 
technique, for whatever he was going for, didn't work. >>

That is their official newspaper stylebook. Everyone is called Mr. or Ms., 
not just by their last names. It is not just in the Style section either, it 
is everywhere. It is actually quite funny sometimes, for example many years 
ago when the reviewed the Sex Pistols and kept referring to Mr. Rotten and 
Mr. Vicious.
