I think many people today, especially in the north and in larger centres in Canada confuse Ms and Miss. I've seen people online call the Miss American Pageant the "Ms American Pageant", and many of the Ms. Lastname women I know are unmarried. They say that they plan to switch to Mrs. Husbandsname if/when they marry. I also find that more traditional institutions automatically call you "Miss" unless you correct them. All my mailings from high school (and university) come as:
Miss Cynthia LASTNAME'98 (High school) or
Miss Cynthia LASTNAME 2002 (university)
