Acting or not?




Are the newsreaders right who refer to Ms. Swift as the 'acting governor' 
of Massachusetts rather than as the 'governor'?   

The state web site and the highway signs speedily changed upon her
ascendancy; they don't say "acting", but many reporters do.

Did we go through a similar confusion when Mr. Weld left office in 
favor of Mr. Cellucci?
