i don't know if this right but what i did was
anyone younger than 30 got Miss
any women older then 30 got Ms. or someone married not using husband's name

I don't know the exact ettiquite but I believe it is based on age... similar to using Master as opposed to Mister. I used Miss for all those under the age of 18. Master for those under the age of 16.

I think it depends on the girl's age. If a woman is about 18 and up it is Ms. and under 18 it would be Miss.

I never thought about the Ms. or Miss. But I think the age thing sounds okay.

Ms. doesn't convey if the person is married or not and I think that is good for older women.

I'm going to keep everything to Mister or Mr. Master brings some other ideas to my head that I don't want to deal with.

At my old job someone told me that she always uses Ms.

She was like the etiquitt guru there
