Ms Or Mrs When Married
What if in chinese name where a married woman name Lai Mei Fong and her husband name is Chan. But if we dont know her husband name, can we just call her Ms Lai or Mrs Lai? But if we know her husband name then of course we will call her Mrs Chan, right?
Stands for Master, but that usage has been politically incorrect before that term 'politically incorrect' was created. Is short for Mistress and like Master denoted a higher social class, role and authority/power. They were used to address those higher up by the lower classes. Ms., I believe was created by the feminists of the 1960's as an alternative to Mrs. And Miss which expressed a woman's marital position. I never send a letter directed to a woman by her husband's name--that is so out of fashion. If she is a close friend or relative, I don't use a title.
If she doesn't mind Miss or Mrs. I use one of those with her first name. And most often, especially in business letters I use Ms. Because it is the acceptable title. Pronounced mister: a title of respect prefixed to a man's name or position. Mrs., first recorded in the early 17th century, was originally, like Miss, an abbreviation of mistress.
And mistress were at first used interchangeably in all contexts, but by the second half of that century, the written form of the abbreviation was largely confined to use as a title preceding a woman's surname. Ms stands for a title of respect prefixed to a woman's name or position: unlike Miss or Mrs., it does not depend upon or indicate her marital status. Denotes a married woman. Can be retained by a divorcee or widow.
Is only used properly when used in conjunction with the Husband's surname. 'Miss' denotes a single (or underage) woman. Miss and Mrs.
Are separate terms derived from 'Mistress'. Mistress was, like 'Master' (or the modern 'Mister') was for men, the common honorable term for women in the 17th century and did not denote marital status. Is, of course, short for Mister. Is marital-status neutral (where marital status is unknown or irrelevant) and is the proper term in professional environments. Was not created by 1960's feminists, but 'was first suggested as a convenience to writers of business letters by such publications as the Bulletin of the American Business Writing Association (1951) and The Simplified Letter, issued by the National Office Management Association (1952).'
