Do you think the that "Miss" is an outdated honourific? I don't really see many people use that, other than in pageants and with older, unmarried women (and in alumnae newsletters from my high school). Today, it seems that the more neutral "Ms." is used, in place of "Miss" (most women who ARE "Ms" tend to be unmarried, at least the ones I know). Ladies, what do you prefer? I personally prefer "Miss" on a more formal social basis, but will likely change my mind if I'm not married at, say 40. Professionally, I use "Ms." of course.
