Mrs\Miss\Ms

[cner01]

if you don't know a person very well, then it's best to use Ms.
Mrs. is used when you know that person is married.

 

[higher_europe]

I usually write Ms. even if I know if the person is married or not.

 

[Tdol]

So do I- it makes life much simpler. ;-)

the easyest one...

You mean easiest ;-)

I use Mrs is I know that person is married.
If I am speaking to that person and they look at an age where they may be married, I ask them whether they are a Miss or a Mrs, but subtly. As in "Yes Mrs... are you a Miss or a Mrs?"
Do not say "are you married?", english people may find that offensive or intrusive, especially if you do not know them well.
I use Miss if I know that person is not married, or they look quite young.
In writing I always use Ms. If I do not know whether the person is married or not.

When saying adult's names, I always say "Miss" even when I know that they're married. When writing, though, I'll write Mrs. if I know they're married, and Ms. if they're not or I don't know.

Except for my Spanish teacher - she's Señora.

usually I use Miss when I am talking but when I write I always write Mrs

Wonder to see big discussion over a small topic

 

[Tdol]

Who says it's small? ;-)

 

[queenbu]

With so many being divorced or separated, I'd choose Ms, just to be on the safe side!

 

[Super Sonic]

How do you pronounce each one of them, please?

 

[Tdol]

Mrs- sounds the same as misses.
Ms- Americans tend to say 'miz' and British 'muz'.
Miss- pronounced as written.

Hi,

first tip: write complete word avoid contraction like plz


Bye:-D

 

[Ravage]

Mrs- sounds the same as misses.
Ms- Americans tend to say 'miz' and British 'muz'.
Miss- pronounced as written.

The be all end all answer: Ms. = Miss (unmarried, or general use) Mrs. = Misses (married) Mz. = Miz (divorced/widowed) Though it's very rare I ever hear "miz" anymore in that context.

Ms is great so that as a woman you do not have to define yourself as married or unmarried. You leave them guessing)
