As per usual, Miss Manners is right on the money! Those of us who are over 21 should start behaving like adults, and insist that we are called by the appropriate Mr./Mrs/Ms, or even Miss First Name, if one must.
In working with geriatrics, I can see such a difference if I call a client "Miss Eleanor" and "Eleanor" - by age alone, she has earned the right to the honorific.
I feel sorry for the children of today - there's too many grey areas for them! I applaud those parents who are taking their kids in hand and teaching them manners and respect for others. Those children will be the leaders of tomorrow - not the screaming brat who has an IQ of 180 but has no social accumen.
