Re: Miss vs Ms.
Miss is unmarried.
Ms. is a voluntary designation for women who don't want to be specific about their marital status. It came about with the feminist movement, they aregued Mr. is ambiguous to marital status, why shouldn't women have the same thing? Helps with job discrimination and things like that... theoretically employers won't assume a woman has a family if she isn't specifically a Mrs. ... among other things.
This is what I was taught, at least.
ETA, the pronunciation is different as well... Miss vs. MIZ

See and I like Miss...makes me feel young :)
My students love that I am a 'miss' because that means they have a young teacher
