Mrs. See Ms.
Ms., Miss, Mrs.. Recently, the designations given to women to indicate their marital status have undergone immense changes. In many instances Miss (the title traditionally applied to an unmarried woman or a girl) has become unacceptable and is felt to be derogatory. In the same way, the term Mrs traditionally applied to married women, conveys a concern with marital status that is unnecessary and maybe considered offensive.
For these reasons, the term Ms came into being as a kind of contraction of
“Miss” and Mrs It is intended as a direct equivalent to Mr in brevity and age,
class, and marital status neutrality. Its use has become widespread, and Ms should be considered the preferred term of address. When the woman in question has expressed a clear preference, it should be honored Jane Jones prefers to call herself
‘Mrs. Jones ” See sexist language.
Much. Much forms its comparatives irregularly much, more, most. See comparison.


Myself. See me and -self.
