Regarding women changing their last name for marriage, in many Native American tribes, family line/head of household, etc., is determined by the woman, not the man. I know some Southern tribes are run by men, but here and most places even asking a woman to change her name is the worst insult.

no blinkers

my peeve is that hardly no one uses there blinkers,even police dont use them, or they wait at least 10 feet before turning,or a mile before actualy turn i turn mine on at least 100 feet.i was told on e time when i asked if their blinker was working and was told the they are optional. that gets me angry and might cause an accident...
