When should a woman become a "Ms"? I have Charlotte Ford's 21st Century Etiquette, and she says that "older" unmarried women are never to be "Miss". What is "older"? Personally, I use "Ms." for all professional correspondence, and Miss for young girls and unmarried women who are my age or want to be addressed as "Miss" (my high school addresses all my alumnae mail to Miss Cynthia LASTNAME '98). Many older unmarried women, especially those who were brought up before the 1960s prefer "Miss" over "Ms" .
