"Miss" or Ms."

[Koenigsegg]

As in Dear Ms./Miss blah.

I've been taught that it's Ms., but in this job description it says contact:

"Miss ....
address
city"

I'll take miss for $200 Alex.

Edited uh? Either or, though Miss is more widely recognized IMO.

 

[miniMUNCH]

Nef much?

 

[wfbberzerker]

well, would you put mr. or mister?

 

[ViRGE]

Miss is the tradtional term, Ms. is the feminist-created term that was designed to be the equivilent of Mr.(since a woman's title switches on marriage, a man's doesn't; Ms. can be used in either case). Ms. is the PC term, but Miss/Mrs is still more widely used.

Oh, and Ms. is pronounced "Miz", it's not short-hand for Miss.

 

[Kadarin]

"Ms." implies "feminazi", whereas "Miss" implies "young and nubile".

 

[alm4rr]

Miss is for 12 year old girls

"Mizz" is the professional term
or "Missus" if married

Use exactly the same as listed in the job description. They put it that way for a reason - if you get it wrong, it will be noticed.
